5 month waiting period from the time you are found to have been disabled, not the time the decision is made, for ssdi and 2 years for medicare.

Are you saying the SSDI income won't happen for 2 years, or the health insurance coverage, or both?
After being approved for disability, SSDI, I believe you become eligible for Medicare after receiving benefits for two years. The way I understand it, the two years includes the time period of back pay. I have not been approved so I am only going by what I have read and what I have been told. My information is not from personal experience.
