SSDI approved, now what?

[Guest guest]

I called my congressman and my local SSA office every week since I applied in Oct 2007. You know what they say about the squeaky wheel!One Smart Cookie wrote: Dearest TammyinT:From one who is about to

be seen for the very first time by Social Security on April 11th, and who is learning (trying to, anyway) every possible thing she CAN about being approved for SSDI I want to say this to you: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness....I cannot even imagine how you must be feeling right this very second. What an unbelievable and wonderful ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!!!!!I have these constant visions of having to wait two or three years just to hear back one way or another so I may be seeing the experience in a slightly skewed way. I am SO very happy for you, Tammy....and I know everyone else here is, too!!!!ALL THE BEST!!!!Akiba wrote: You won't have to fight for your medical. Being on SSI you will automatically qualify, usually with little or no co-pay and a small co-pay for meds (Mine cost between 0 and $3.00 tops) Congratulations. You are now officially disabled. Hugs Akiba -- SSDI approved, now what? Found out via my congressman's office that my SSDI is approved. I will get my first check the 2nd week of May. I understood that I am also suppose to get money for my kids?? Also, how do I go about fighting for my medical now? Need some help on how to proceed from here. Thanks! Tammy, Tx You rock.
