Oct 2012

I applied in March, was approved in July and will get my Sept (5 month waiting period) in October. I will not be getting anything for the months of March-August. I was under the impression that I would get paid for those months, but I found out today that I will not. Oh well, I had already started spending the money in my head...that'll learn me. At least I'm getting a little something.

I'll have to re-evaluate to see if I can get my family by on the disability or weigh if I need to try to get back to work, illness be damned.
