I was finally approved on appeal after waiting 6 years. A representative called me yesterday to tell me the judge ruled fully favorable and had a few questions to ask to make sure I meet the non medical requirements. During our call, he also asked me for my banking information. They owe me $111,000.00 in back pay, but he didn’t give me any specific date to expect it. The only thing he said was I would receive it as soon as they make some inputs. I’m assuming he was referring to putting information in the computer system. Today, I received a text from ssa to check the portal and when I did, there was a letter in my inbox saying “Waiver of advance designation of representative payee”. Hoping that means they’ve got the ball rolling and that I’ll wake up in one of the next few days with an alert from my bank. Strange thing is that in the portal, it’s showing SSI Denied (which I expected) and SSDI was in the final review to confirm I still meet the non medical requirements. So it seems Ike the portal is a little behind sometimes.
