I stopped working two years ago and have recently applied for disability benefits for a physical problem that will never go away. I read online that people are paid from when they quit working until the benefit is actually paid. Will I really be paid for two years of disability? Please let me know your experience if you have dealt with this.

Thanks!

You mean a retroactive payment. After you apply, and get through the hearing process to prove that you actually do have a disability, yes, you can get retroactive payments, but don't see dollar signs yet, because sometimes it takes up to 11 months to get the back payments.

I was in a bad car crash in 19995 that left me blind in my left eye, no perifial vision, my spleen was taken out, and 16 plates and 69 screws in my head. I was placed on disability in 1995 and then taken off or denied disability in 2003. I then reapplied in 2009 and was approved again. My question is would I be entitled to back pay from 2003-2009?
