(8,571 posts)Kudos to you for having the patience to write that out. Some people think you can just send a doctors note to SSDI and that's it, you automatically are approved. That's not the case at all. It is extremely hard to qualify for it and even when you do qualify, just like in your case, you have to wait months to get your first check. I hope that the doctors have got your pain to a level where you can have as much quality of life as you can. I'm glad that you finally got your SSDI and don't have the added worries on top of your health of wondering where your next meal is going to come from, or how you will pay your bills. I'm sure in this economy money is still tight, but at least your burden is hopefully lessened.
Thank you for sharing your story
