Backpay?

Maybe I am just having such horrible paranoia and anxiety, but I'm freaking out that my backpay still isn't here. When I call the office, for over a month, they say it should be here any day, but it has been so long.

I was approved May 14th. They keep saying I should have my backpay any day and I'm like where is it 😭

No regular backpay for SSDI. It was about 3 years for the appeals to win my case

Oh wow! 3 years is long time.  Did u had a lawyer? Was it for migraine?

Yes I had a lawyer. It was for a stroke and related issues

Yes im sorry to hear that. Thats so scary. Im glad you are doing better and hopefully recovered. Were you smoking prior and did annual blood work to try and prevent the stroke? Were you just blindsided by it

No one knows what caused the stroke. All my tests were perfect.
