My SSDI app was approved in 6 wks. Before applying I collected my cf records from only the prior year and weeded out anything that wasn't relevant or building upon the impairments I was saying I met. I circled stuff I wanted them to see and really dumbed it down. I included a "My Day" and and exacerbation and abx use spreadsheet. It was hard not to see I met the requirement with a quick glance at the small package. Julie and Beth both advised me on this methodology. I was not working when I applied. I did not have to pay either Julie or Beth but did give DAFCF a $400 donation after approval as I know their services are funded by donations from individuals and Julie gave me the encouragement to go ahead and apply as she felt I more than met the requirements. I feel blessed to have started to receive benefits when I did because I feel like I am really going to get to enjoy my life which should be what it is about but so often people wait until the end and then die shortly afterwards. When I began receiving benefits my lung function was 67% and I had only been on IVs 4 times in my life. I was anxious to get on SSDI while they still had the impairment listing of using inhaled abx on a regular basis because I wasn't sure how long that would last. It seems too good to be true.

I got approved!! However, they said I don't get any backpay because there is a 5 month waiting period and since I was approved before the 5 months, I don't get the backpay. Anyone else ever heard of this? This is new to me...

Congrats Kris, what a relief you got it! I'm so happy for you.
Wanted to answer in regards to the backpay question. Yes, the exact same thing happened to me because of the 5 month waiting period. I applied in March 2009 and they determined I became disabled in January 2009. So my money didn't start until 5 months from Jan. 12th and I received no backpay. I got my first check in June or July (can't remember) and it was only for one month. The way I understand it is that you only get back pay if they determine you became disabled more than 5 months prior to your application.
So I guess the question really is, what is they date they determined you became disabled? If it was more than 5 months ago you should receive backpay. That is just the way I understand it and Julie will hopefully chime in and correct any misinformation. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You have to be deemed disabled for five months before you are eligible to collect your money, That is federally governed. The only thing you can do is see if you can be deemed disabled sooner. If I remember correctly you have to not have been working or if you were working, I believe you have to have been making under 1000.00 a month, if you were working and making more then that, they will not count those months!!!
I remember looking at my paystubs for the year and looking at the months where I made over the income and we had to start from there.
Congrats on being approved!!!!
