I have opened a bank account to receive my backpay and am praying the money comes soon ... my question is how long will this take? I have not received the approval letter yet, and my case was won in civil court at the end of August.. should I expect to receive it soon?

It usually takes 30-90 days. HOWEVER......
It depends on the backlog in your state. If you are represented by an attorney, he/she can tell you about your states backlog.
If you elected direct deposit, make it a habit of checking your bank account by phone every week. Direct deposits of back pay will be placed without notice into your account approximately 2 weeks - 30 days after you receive your final approval letter.
Paper checks take a long time. Especially if your state has a backlog. Up to 6 months. 
PS Not sure if paper checks are still being used. Things have changed with SSDI since 2005.
