Yea....good for you. I was approved after my last surgery. It was the first time application, and it took less than 6 weeks to get it. The great news is that they will send you back pay. i was found to be disable in dec, and I didn't apply untill Sept. In Novemeber I received my back benefits. You do have to be disable for 5 monhts that they will not pay you for. You checks will be sent depending on your last name. As mine is a "M" I get mine on the 3 wed of every month. they are only paid out on Weds..It not a lot, but it sure helps. I'm happy for you
