    But it is not easy always to get the benefits. It is possible you will be unemployed and no able to work for months before you get approved

    It may take years for you to be approved. Not everyone is immediately approved right out of the gate. Plus you must be unable to work and deemed so by your doctor. Going back to work may have ended up delaying you from being approved. Have you applied yet?
