Navy04 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Great News Hog, I just signed my papers for my SSDI last Wed, but I do not get paid til May. My FDC VA claim is at Gathering of Evidence, hopefully it starts to move soon. God Bless and again very happy for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogchick Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks navy04!!! I will not start getting paid until May. Something about waiting 5 month grace period...this only applies to the disability :-( Good luck with your VA claim mine is still at Prep for Decision :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 hog, Congrats. They should just withhold the first 5 months out of your retro for SSDI, and pay you the remainder very soon. jmho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogchick Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thank you Carlie!!!! It looks like they soley based it on my PTSD!! I'm surprised it happened so fast! I filed Sept 2013. They claimed me disabled Nov 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorNavy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Congrats to you... They pay from the date when you became disabled, not the application date. They can go back up to a year before you filed, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
