I wasn't trying to be mean or inconsiderate etc. But unfortunately it is very hard to show infliction when typing. I was just expressing my frustration with SSA and I am simply curious what others get and when. I know exactly how it works, my lawyer and my googling has given me that info. I know mine won't be the exact same as anyone else. I was just wondering. You know...looking for something to entertain me while I wait the wait. Geez. I am sorry you all took me wrong. I even tried to put a group hug. Oh well...and I know that some people are still around after backpay. It just seems that I can find posts all day long that say "I was just approved, does anyone know how long it will take to get my backpay?" But it doesn't seem they ever come back to say when they finally got it (and I didn't mean EVERYBODY). I was looking for reassurance, hope and information. Not mean replies. I know not to ask anymore questions. Good luck to you all!
