Let's say I get approved from SSDI.Later after I finish all my therapies, let's say I try to go back and finishing my Master's degree or want to open my Biz back up.Will I let go of the SSDI and later down the road and have to reapply for SSDI?Or how does that work?
Also would SSDI start from the day I got disabled or the day I filed?Because I did have a year and half in PCS or "unknown" diagnosis.Or do they just pay back a year or nothing?I had to work and go to school 6months of that time.Until my brain shut down all the way to total function etc The disability M.D. asked me why it took me so long to get a diagnosis? I told him his answer to that is unknown because I seeked out therapy since the accident from hospitals,PCP,chiropractors, physical therapy, few other M.D's in the mix, and a neurologist that flat out took my money and wrote me off.(probably because my attitude and MVA accident) Most of the time I could not even get into a M.D. if they heard it was a MVA. Any feedback is appreciated GREATLY

I talked to my case worker for SSDI and she said everything is with a M.D. and I should know something in a week to a month.I am VERY stressed out about this financial hardship I am facing.I hope and pray I get disability before June otherwise I will have to go back to school for loan money
I am not in ANY shape to go back to school yet!I have to survive some how
