What is the name of your state? Tennessee
My sister is about to receive her first SSDI check. She applied in April of 2004, and got her eligibility determination in August. She is a disorganized mess and can't find her letters. But...she is pretty sure her disability date is August! I can't IMAGINE that they would assume she wasn't disabled until the date of her approval, but nevertheless.... Let's assume she's right. The last day she was able to work was October of 2002. Is allowable to appeal the disability determination date so she would be eligible for some back pay? She's afraid she's going to "mess up" the receipt of any checks if she rocks the boat. I say, rock that sucker!
