Got my backpay! - Disabilities Message Board

Yippee! My backpay finally came, and I can pay off my bills now!

First filed for SSDI in Sept 2005, received a fully favorable decision at my hearing in Oct 2007, received award letter Dec 16 2007. A full 6 months from receiving the award letter to actually receiving all the benefits I was due. What a relief. I have been on edge so bad these past few months over this, so glad it's over with now!

Congratulations that is great news and I am very happy for you. You sure have waited long enough.

Congrats! You deserve it.

I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, and you may already know this, but make sure you save some $ because you owe back taxes on that money as well. Many don't realize that and it presents problems later.

Good luck.
