Well Congratulations! I received my back pay yesterday and it was a lump sum. But I do know people who received it in installments, but they were also going on SSI along with SSD. I am not sure if that had anything to do with it. They may have had to pay back other government agencies as well. I am new to this myself. I do know that with my back pay was my November payment and I won't get my December payment until the end of January, that is how they have mine set up. (3rd wednesday of month).
I am sure someone else with more factual information will jump in here soon and give you some help!!
