Why did you get so much money for SS? Did they owe you money or something? Seems very powerful, you should post a picture of it on the boards. Congratulations on your new PC!

It was back time. I first applied for disability in 2009, and wasn't approved until 2011, so I got all the monthly payments starting from 2009.

I'll see about posting some pics!

I have mental conditions that make it extremely difficult to hold down a job, or even to leave the house. I was approved after hiring a lawyer. I did pay into the system for many years so I don't see it as a handout.

It allows me and my g/f to live comfortably, so no worries!
