Frannie..are they going back 3 months?..
When hubby went of disability they made a determination almost immediately.
We got a letter saying they were even backdating it for 6 months. That meant we got a back check for 6 months worth of payments plus they started the reg. disability payment the next month.
I am now receiving MY regular SS payments (I'm 64 this year) but when ever I decide to I can collect his disability amount on SS. I am trying to hold out until I am 65 so I can collect the full amount he was receiving.
I was really surprised when they told me that because usually a wife can only collect half of what her husband collects.
It seems like they just pick and choose who will get disability .
So that is really great that you can collect. I bet you are relieved and happy to get a little help.I know we were.
Snoozy Q..
