[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 548240, member: 1514"] You can still get large back pays but it depends on which program. You just have to think about it. He is drawing SSI based on certain things. However, they simply didnt find him disabled back to 14 based on income from that time period probably. Also it could have a time limit on the appeals process. There are many reasons for that. However, disability will back pay to the time when a person applies and they are found disabled. That is a simple fact. No matter how long that takes the money builds and they have to pay it out. Now sometimes they want to split it into two types...SSI and SSDI and get the person to take the SSI first while they figure out the SSDI claim out and then the person has to pay back the SSI. I refused that. I applied for medicaid the second I learned I was eligible for SSDI and what amount I was eligible. I knew that I was going to be eligible for medicaid. That kept me from having to get SSI. I beat Social Security to the punch. I knew I was over income for SSI so I told them not to bother with the SSI application. I got my lump sum about 6 weeks after my hearing date. My monthly checks started about 8 weeks later. I know other people who have just received SSDI within the last year and they have received lump sums twice as much as I got...if not more than that. So lump sums are still there. [/QUOTE]
