Re: Social Security benefits??
Got a call from the local office w/in 24 hrs of submitting the report online. He was very nice and told me those in my conditiom are usuallly approved with a few weekd. He assured me they would take care of getting any records they need.
When i explained the complicated way my Fmla was handled he said it is usually the last day you are are able to work, but since I was dx 8 mons before that and was just using up all my leave and doing a minimal amt of work at home in bed he said it may be when i was dx.
Yes,the 5 mon wait is from the date i filed but I'll get more than i expected. Just hate to e reminded constantly that I am terminal, incurrable.
