My state is Pennsylvania .
I have a question. I was recently approved for SSD. I recieved the letter about an online password before I recieved my approval notice. I called in and they confirmed that I was approved, and my monthly payment is $897 a month.
Here is the thing, I want to know what my back payment will be. I was born disabled, with bad scoliosis that causes pain, a deformed left arm, and a deformed right hand. When I filed, I put January 2, 2004 as the day I became disabled, and I filed in July of 2004. I used January 2, 2004, because that is when I stopped working. I worked full time from the time I was 18 until now, and I am 25. I know I should get back pay from June 2004 - January 2005, but is it possible I may get more because I was born disabled. I hear they can go as far back as 12 months from the day you were considered disabled. Does that mean I may get back pay from June 2003 - January 2005, because I was born disabled. My father said that he tried to get SSI or SSD for me when I was younger, but was denied because he made too much even though I was deemed totally disabled. SSA confirmed this when I filed initally, but said a new case had to be filed to determine if I was "still disabled".
Any advice?
