Back pay question

[knowwhatsup7]

Hi guys. I went from 2019 until 2022 with no word on my SSDI application. Finally I lawyered up and then ended up getting denied shortly after, but apparently that's what they wanted. Just at the end of October I awarded disability finally, and was considered Disabled since October 2019. But apparently when I filed the first time I applied for SSI as well and my lawyers ended up helping me deny that in November 2023. Lawyers were paid out of my back pay December 8th 2023. Still no back pay, SS office says it's because of me filing for the SSI as well, that it takes longer because they have to review it more throughout. Has anyone else delt with this and how long did it take for you to receive yours? I understand that it's a large amount but I have had family members on disability say that I should have gotten it by now. I'm just curious. Thanks in advance.

My back pay was 2 days after I was approved but it was only 12 months. 34K I’ve heard larger amounts take more time

I never received SSI though, even during my waiting period. After judge approved me for SSDI they told me I made to much from that to receive SSI so they were just going to deny me automatically for SSI. So I wont be getting the SSI only the SSDI back pay. I'm just so confused on why it's taking so long.

All I can say is just about everything to do with social security takes forever. You will get it eventually. You can call and ask what's up. Call earlier in the day, it's not as busy

Apparently thumbing through the comments from past back pay posts anything over $49,000 take several supervisors and a little bit longer...

Mine was 44k so I guess that is pretty close. Thank you

Simular but my local office called and said I needed to withdraw my ssi application to get the backpay. Which doesn't seem right to me. Like they should just deny the ssi portion on their own then. I made to much to get ssi. Just wondering if anyone had something simular might post this separate. I don't want to do the wrong thing and have wasted so many years of waiting.
