Please don't give up. It can usually take anywhere from 30 to 120 days at the decision writer's.
You are almost there so try to hang in a little longer.
You have gone through the roughest part.
Mine was at the decision writers for almost 120 days.
I got the first letter saying I was approved around the middle of June and my benefits start in August and I have no idea when the back pay will come but it's in the system now and might come soon.
It takes alot of time I know, but it will come.

JanieLou said the most important thing to remember:

You've been through the roughest part, so just hang on a little while longer.

Just keep reaching to any one you need to, right now.

If you have statements about rent or utilities being overdue you can take them to the social security office and I think they will expedite getting you some money. Look up "ssa dire need" for how to do it. I've only heard of this, never done it, so don't know how it works. Keep hanging on, this is a tough process to go through.
