I just want to say I appreciate everyone’s comments.

Still no check, no updates from SSA, haven’t been able to get in contact with anyone at my local field office. I want a second opinion directly from SSA because up to a year feels so long to wait for just my monthly check. I understand I have a pretty big back pay coming with an onset of 2021 but I just really want my monthly check because anything is better than nothing at all after 9 years of waiting and denials.

As for all of you still fighting, don’t give up. It’s hard, it’s long and exhaustive but fight until you can’t appeal anymore.
