First disability payment
Does anyone know how long after a decision is made that the first payment shows up? Thanks.

2. It depends on if they accept your medical diagnosis without having to visit "their" doctors.
My husband sent in his paperwork and within a month he got a notice saying "We have looked at your claim and agree you are disabled"
He got a check within the month.
A friend of mine filed and they disputed her claim and her Dr's diagnosis and she has to see a series of Drs approved by them. A year and a half later she is still waiting and fighting.

4. Approved from initial application
It's SSD, approved at first level, date of disability 2/24/12, don't know the date of entitlement?
Thanks for the replies.

5. There is a 5 month waiting period after the date of onset.
With an onset of 2/12/12, the waiting pd is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and the date of entitlement will be 08/12. The 08/12 benefit is paid in 09/12, the exact date depending on the day of the month you were born. So you have to wait awhile. Some people are able to qualify for SSI in the interim if they have low income and resources otherwise. Did you also apply for SSI? If you did your local office s/b contacting you shortly to see about getting that started.

6. About two months
The check covering the arrears generally arrive about six weeks after the decision (If everything else goes without a hitch, i.e. no problem as to how much was paid in or what is the monthly amount). Most people get their first monthly check about two months after the decision. Given that today is July 17, 2012, my guess would be the 3rd of October (Social Security technically pays you at the "End" of the month, but that is generally the 3rd of the following month, thus August and September are the waiting months, and October 3rd is the month you get your first check.
I have seen it within a month, I have seen it take six months, but most follows the above.

8. let me know how they handled your back payments too
I'm in a similar sounding boat as you. I applied and was approved based on a Mar 2012 date of disability and was told that after the 5 month waiting period I would see my first benefit in October. I was curious if my back pay for Apr-Aug would be included as a lump sum on that same direct deposit or if it would be broken up into installments. I saw that SSI is more often separated into installments but plain old disability is paid in a lump sum. I'm just worried that I'll be counting on a big payment in October only to find out that its dragging out even longer. I havent worked since March and we're coasting towards that first payment date on fumes. We've extended every bill we can and hopefully can hold on till then. A lump sum would be very groovy.
Free money. But the safe's about empty anyway.

Funny, scamming SS is the one area where I would have to defer to DUmmies superior knowledge of the subject.

That's true.
You know, I'm sure that even highly-trained attorneys engaged in disability cases check this forum on Skins's island, to learn how the "system" works, because the primitives seem to know more about it than they do.

Most of you know my story. This just pisses me off. Someday my child with a real lifelong disability who can't even put words together to post in any sort of eloquent way as these fools will sit backlogged behind the leaches. Just sickening.

Agreed.
By the scammers sucking up the available (and always-diminishing) funds, that means there's many in authentic need who don't get anything, anything at all.

I despise that their avarice makes good hard-working people suspicious of anyone with a disability who needs help too. They are destroying both the system and the perception of REAL people who have REAL needs by making anyone claiming a disability to be suspect. So tired of the damn leeches. And tired of their attitude when people who are sidelined by very dire illnesses--on machines to function(but brain fully functional) lament that they can not unplug and reenter the world of the productive. As mean as it is to say, sometimes I wish these leeches could actually take on the disabilities and illnesses of those wanting to be productive. They want the free dime? Let them see how people who really need it have to live and deal with pain, suffering, and hindrance. And let those people hindered by really dire circumstances be restored to health so they can take their place in the productive world they want to be in.

Not just SS/SSDI but any government program for the lazy.

Fumes huh? DUche still has a computer and the Internet. Far from running low on anything but the stash.

If they spent as many years actually working as they do trying to Cloward-Piven the system they might turn into.......

DUmp democrats are expert on two things: drugs and scamming the stash.

Isn't this the DUmmie that posted her husband was seriously abusing her? Notice she doesn't say if it's her or her husbands disability check she is waiting for.

Conspiracy theory's should be added to that list.

Yes, it was her: LINK (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,76238.0/highlight,abusing.html)

I bet it is her husbands disability she is waiting for after reading her "I'm an abused wife" post.
