Default I'm In Shock.......But Relieved!!
On 6/4/2008 I submitted my application to SS for disability benefits. I kept a printout of the confirmation and a copy of all subsequent communication I received from them.

Well, today - in the mail - I received my Notice of Award for SSDI to begin in September 2008!

I'm in shock.......less than 2 months from the date I applied I was approved??? Is that normal?

I must be livin' right (my Dad used to say that) or my guardian angel is working overtime in my corner.

that's wonderful news, Kitty !!

especially because the backlog was so bad a while back...

but apparently, they've instituted a new program to clear up the backlog:

In an attempt to speed up the application process, beginning in August of 2006, the SSA implemented changes to the application process in the six-state New England region, on a trial basis. On December 1, 2007, the SSA implemented the program nationwide.

Yeah!!!! That is great Kelly. What a relief that must be for you. Are you breathing better now? lol I hope so. I know I did when I got my award letter.

Yes, you are living right AND you have a guardian angel looking over you.

Thumbs up
Congratulations, Kelly! You must of had all your ducks in a row when sending in your application and supporting documentation - or was it all your angels in a row?
One more thing to celebrate!

I'm not sure, Sarah, but it's worth a call to SS to find out. The toll free number listed in my paperwork is 800-772-1213.

I hope you get to feeling better. I'm sure the heat and humidity isn't helping, either....
