[QUOTE="25TOLIFE, post: 2386721, member: 34972"] The SSA really pushes the over 50 rule. I was awarded 29 months of retroactive back pay once I finally was approved at my appeal hearing. Definitely worth the effort. I hired a disability attorney and it is not in their best interest to get you approved right away. By law they get 15% to a maximum of $6000 of your back benefits. The lawyers know the SSA appeal backlog will take long enough that their payment is maxed out. I'm not complaining it's all behind me now and it all worked out. I was able to hang in there without falling behind on any bills but I'm sure people who don't have a pension or some other source of income or savings are in serious trouble if not approved the first time.
