SSDI snafu

[Guest guest]

I applied for SSDI around Feb 01, this year. I still have no SSDI, nor do I have a response, yes or no, as to whether I'm even going to get SSDI. I called national number, and the lady said it appears as though there's a "comunication gap" at the local office level. Because I technically have AIDS, my case was supposed to be fast tracked, and the local office has put me under the category for "regular disability cases", which could take months to approve. If you have AIDS, you have a presumptive disability and the checks should have already been flowing she said. IF, later SSDI decised you're not disabled, you don't have to repay the money. I told her that I remember back in 1993 it took all of 2 weeks before I got my first check. The lady was so nice though that I spoke to at the national office. She's going to personally call my local office to see what's the hold up. She said check back in 1 week, if she hasn't called back by then. So, for those of you that are waiting, waiting, waiting.........call the national number and see what's the hold up. The may not have fast tracked you.
