Are you all ready for some good news?

are you really ready?

I heard from Social Security.....

I am APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first check should be in my account in October.

But my backpay will take up to 6 months.

I cannot believe it. No lawyer, no appeal -- amazing. They found me disabled from the date my employer let me go in Dec. 2009. With the waiting period, that means I started disability June 2010. So I won't get on Medicare till June 2012 - which may mean I go a year without insurance - because my COBRA will end June of 2011. I'll have to see what I can do on that. No insurance company with a brain would cover me.

I will know more once I get the actual letter - such as was I classified as permanently disabled, or will I have to get a new decision after so many years, things like that.

But -- I am SOOOOOO happy!!!!!!! Such a relief.
