Applied April 2025, approved for SSDI July 2, 2026. Onset changed to May 2021. Denied SSI in June 2026-applied at same time as SSDI. I was told that I am being given one month of SSI. How is this if portal says approved SSDI July 2026 and it said denied SSI in June 2026. Will it holdup the SSDI pmt in August? Will I get backpay back to 2021 minus the 5 months. They backdated medicare to April 2026 and that equals 3 months of payments I did not ask for. This is all so confusing. If they are changing SSI denial to one month how is it helping me now? Do they send out SSI checks after July 1st? I will not get SSDI until end of August and SSI has already went out this month. They know I have a desperate situation. Has anyone had this happen? Any advice is appreciated.

I went for my CE app for SSDI today for a musculoskeletal (MSK) examination and range of motion. He felt my arms, legs etc. and mentioned how my hands were swollen from arthritis. He said my blood pressure was high and that he could see I was stiff. He mentioned that he saw the multitude of things wrong with me, Osteoporosis, lupus, arthritis, deafness in one ear ringing in the other, nephritis, pain, test results etc. in my records wbc always a little high. He didn’t do the range of motion only observations and a few movements of my leg while I sat. He said we were done. I asked if he needed my records or to do any tests and he said he saw them and I was too stiff. What could this possibly mean for my ssdi application. Thank you. Bad? Does stiffness and high blood pressure from pain prevent the exams or ? Worried. I am 60
