Berta, Hello my name is Bryant Mastrangelo and I am in a similar situation as John. I was wanting to know after the fact that I did not disagree with the incompetency but in fact I requested my mother as fiduciary and now we are awaiting a rater's decision and a field examiner to come and interview us. I am receiving the 100% IU pay now but I am awaiting Retro pay. How long will it take to release the Retro? It has been 2 months so far. Thanks for any time you take to read or respond to this.

Then you will receive the amount rewarded the next month. Do you expect retro pay? You should but it won't get released until you are found competent or incompetent. You can fight the incompetency but that would mean a C&P while incompetency will mean a need for a fiduciary. Fiduciary is a friend or family member that recieves the funds on your behalf because you have been found incompetent on how to spend funds. That's it.

Hi Berta, I am happy you posted. I am 2 months into awaiting a decision on my fiduciary. I think that once that is done they will release my retro pay to her. I think that it will be about the same time even though it is my mother as my fiduciary.

John, my friend I am in the same boat as you. I also have received the notice of proposal of incompetency. I have agreed to it. I have appointed my mother as fiduciary. She has raised me from a young child and she now can handle my funds as she is an appropriate authority figure and I trust her without discretion. Now I receive my 100% disability compensation due to IU. I am waiting on a large retro pay amount. They are going and looking at my mom as fiduciary. I say this don't worry I will keep you updated on my scenario but this started in September and it is November. Two months of wait with 100% is not bad. I will hurry up and wait for this retro pay but I just thought not agreeing with the incompetency ruling would mean a longer wait because of the appeal. It is your choice but I just think it means you can't hold a gun and you have trouble balancing a checkbook. Half of America can not balance a checkbook. My mother has superb organizational skills. I wouldn't have it any other way and I believe the wait will be shorter. Good Luck and Bless you.

C&P's are quick. It is the decision afterward that takes a couple to a few months to find a decision on. Usually after a claim is out a C&P can take up to a month to find out about. Good Luck.
