[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 565821, member: 7083"] SSDI doesn't have the limitations that SSI has. With SSDI, assets don't matter, how much money you have in the bank doesn't matter, if someone else pays your rent/mortgage it doesn't matter, who lives with you doesn't matter. All those things matter with SSI and effects your SSI payments. SSI is much more complicated than SSDI, and SSDI is complicated enough on its own. I imagine if you are receiving both, it is even more complicated - and something I may be dealing with as I'm applying for SSI for difficult child. ETA: Lisa, they told me that SSDI would only go back one year from my application date if I was declared disabled that far back. Mine went before an adminstrative judge and she took it back to when I had to stop working which took it back 4 years. I waited 2 years before I even applied (cause I wasn't willing to admit that this was going to be my life and I wasn't getting better), and then it took another 2 years before it got in front of an administrative judge.
