So glad to hear it Forgetmenot! What a relief. I know it can be very difficult with the various health issues surrounding fibro and fatigue. I was very lucky in the U.S. I got it the first time. I saw someone else ask how long it takes. It's a minimum of about 5 months. Which is the same amount of time for the state's waiting period. So if a person applies in January, the first check wouldn't even come through until 5 months later. I blew through all of our savings waiting. I had just started contacting the mortgage company because we wanted to keep the house. We hadn't heard and were out of savings. The bank called me back and said they'd work with us, and by a miracle, I was contacted by Social Security!
Good luck to those of you still waiting. I pray it gets resolved soon.....
