   I was approved for Disability already! Aparently the docs backed me up and I already got a deposit in the bank yesterday, and haven't even recieved an approval letter yet! I got a call Thurs to answer a few questions and when I checked my bank yesterday there was a deposit. I was told over the phone that the actural disability will start in a few months, but the SSI will cover me til then. I was able to do it without a lawyer or a denial. I listened to everyones advise and made every appointment and fallowed directions(not easy for me!) I had to check again this morning to make sure I wasn't dreaming!!! It's not alot, but at least I know I won't have to move and won't have to rely soley on Keith. The timing was perfect as well cuz I had been living off my income tax return and that was getting down to the last few bucks. I guess I am the exception to all the horror stories of denials and appeals and long waits. I filed on Oct 22, '08. Just a couple days over 5 months. I think that is a record! Wow! I'm still in shock!
