Okay first of all, I am really really depressed now after reading a bunch of threads. I got a letter saying they found me disabled blah blah blah...and there was no need to go to a hearing, etc...Just saturday I got the letter. I went Tuesday to the ss office to do my nonmed info. She told me I would get my first check in 2 weeks and then installments of my backpay, etc... (I applied 2 years ago) my dad just applied months ago and won right away and got his within 2 weeks of his decision. He must have been lucky. Now I see everyone is having to wait many weeks or months for theirs. Is this true for everyone? Or did Social Security and my atty lie to me?

Also I was told now it might go to appeals and I will lose my decision.
