Payment center knows but I can't talk to them. @Donna Smith: I’m in the same boat. same time frame too. dec. 2009, approved feb. 2011 but no back pay and the attorney got his. no one knows the date or just how long it will take.

Two weeks before she passed away in the hospital in May 1992 her disability was approved. My mother didn't work much to get social security but she did eventually had her disability approved for something physical that was wrong with her body. Since I am her daughter and it is now 2010 am I entitled to receive her backpay benefits?

My onset date of disability is May of 2003. I was informed from one of the employees at the local social security office that I will be receiving a substantial amount of money. The supervisor told me that "they have to make sure they dot all the i's and t's before they release the money. I have received my first social security check in February, and am wondering why I keep getting the run around! Also, why would they pay more attorney his 25%before paying my past due benefits. I am starting to worry! I received my approval letter from Social Security for SSD on December 2 2009 and still have not received my past due benefits. My onset date of disability is May of 2003.

My son is seven and his Dad has been M.I.A for 6 and a half years. Last year he started receiving disability benefits thank god. I think his other children are getting a lot more, because their mom don't have to work. I work full time and have trouble just keeping enough food in the house even with the benefits he gets (about 450 a month). Part of the problem is I am putting my son through private school which costs about 500 a month, not including the babysiter I pay 150 a month to to keep my job. I don't want to put him back into public school because they don't have enrichment in my district, and he was getting in fights. My family has spent 1000's of dollars to help us just get by, but they can't do much any more because they are retiring. Hi I am wondering if my son is entitled to any additional benefits?
