When I filed it was $5300 and it went directly from the Social Security Office to him and taken off my loss wage check and documented as such on all my papers from social security.

Filing for disability is really a pain. It took me 2 tries, never had to go to court it was settled in lawyers office.

I hope this is a help.

Hi Gabbycakes,
when I say wage/loss I mean workers comp which I have been receiving since I been off work this time. She says that I will need to consider applying for SSDI once I have recevied a final judgement as far if I can do any other work besides my Job of injury. I hope this makes sense
