Holy fuckin shit! Finally!
My disability back pay finally hit my account today.
That's 4 years, 5 months after my initial infection. 5 months after a judge ruled long COVID had disabled me for 3 years. More than 90 days after I received my benefit award letter informing me of the amount I was due.
That's the timeline you're looking at folks to see any kind of $$ from the US #disability system when #longCOVID disables you.
Hope those restaurant meals and ship cruises are worth it.
@Vanalope I'm happy for you it finally happened, but wow, that system is terrible!!
(also I first read "my disability backpack .." and I was quite intrigued what such a thing would contain)
@Vanalope holy shit that’s amazing and awful
@Vanalope Congratulations! That's a huge milestone!
(Also, I hope the taxes aren't too horrifying.)
