Hi Katz! It sounds like everything went well to me. I have a question though, why did your lawyer change your onset date by 15 months?? I worked too, for 3 months, and my lawyer stated that it was an unsuccessful work attempt. The judge agreed and I was granted full ssdi even through those months.

It sounds to me that the judge was trying to save tax payers some money. They have been doing a deal or no deal for the last few years, including with me, but I called his bluff and it paid off. By changing your onset date I am pretty sure you will get a favorable decision but remember you will have to wait until 10/12 to get medicare benefits and your payments will now start 10/10, just in case you didn't know.
