The same thing happened to me:

I "became disabled" on April 27, 2008. Five months later is October, and checks are delayed one month, and come out at the end of the month, so I received my first check on Nov. 26, which is actually 7 months after my disability began. And, no, I did not receive 2 monhts benefits at the time.

I was grateful that 2-1/2 of those months were during the summer, and, I worked for the school district, so I was not expecting income during those months anyways. That, and a big tax refund, and our stimulus package helped us get through the months with only one income.
