For example if Wade was born with a cognitive brain disorder filed for disibility in 2005 when he is 35 and has a hearing in Oct 1st 2008 the judge will only award Wade disability from Oct 1st 2007 even though Wade never saw any doctors on Oct 1st 2007. My question is are the Judges told to only give the disabled 12 months of disability because it is the law? Meaning if the Judge found Wade disabled in 2005 then the federal government would pay him thousands and thousands of dollars in back pay. So are the judges told to only give those disabled 1 year of disability instead of when the person was truly disabled.
