When you get the letter (if he is approved for benefits) it will tell you about the backpay. If you have questions after reading the letter, call SSA.

We cannot tell you how much backpay will be awarded. I know of a case where the person got 6 months, another where the person got 2 years backpay. Various factors apply to each indivudual case. Backpay is usually given based on when it is determined that the claimant became disabled.
