My first benefit check will be April 28th. Its def a great feeling to have some of the pressure off isnt it?

Congrats again and good luck.

I'm so happy for you guys I'm getting so stressed out waiting on my backpay it's been almost a month from when my papers went to the payment center and still nothing did you do anything after you got the call from the alj telling you won? I don't know what to do to speed things up but if I don't get money by June 1st I'm gonna be living in a trailer lol at my sisters house I have nobody left to ask to help me I think i will call ss tomarrow and ask if there is anything I can do to help them move my case up so I get paid. Thanks and congrats

I've been dying to tell my friends online that I've finally been approved for SSDI. I got a fully favorable OTR decision.
My onset date is Sept. 1st, 2008. I have progressive MS, I'm bipolar II, and have degenerative disc disease. I'll be 30 in July.

I'm SO glad that I can see some light at the end of this tunnel...
but I'm extremely anxious about when I'll receive my backpay and 1st benefit check. My claim is already in Baltimore for processing.
We're in the process of losing our home in a short sale, and I've had to beg for money from family members just to get by (sound familiar to anyone!?). I feel like a scumbag for having my hand out all the time, and really hope that I never have to do this again.

Thank you for "listening."
