Have you had a transplant, and if so did you receive ssdi before the tx?
Are you still getting ssdi? If not, when did it stop?

Wow, congrats mm70.
I'm just starting down the transplant path and will be having my first "meet the chief transplant doctor" meeting.
I would love to hear more about all the testing you underwent and what kind of lungs you got and the re-hab and everything...
Like did you have really common blood type and tissue type etc to get a lung match so quick?
And how short was your ICU stay (Intensive care)?
And any complications since?

I'm not on SSDI yet, but I do know that a transplant is considered an automatic disability qualification for one year.

With the new changes the SSA is proposing to make to the respiratory impairment listing, this would be changed to 3 years. So that would actually be a positive change, as opposed to the other changes they are proposing.
Muscle, sorry I can't be of any more help, I have no personal experience on the matter.
Take care,
