ugh...I think it does mean that you have been denied...was this your initial application? I thought it would be weird to have been approved if you applied THIS July.

It took 2.5 years for me to be approved. I had documentation that seemed overwhelming to me for physical and mental and I was denied at initial application (it took 9 months)...and I was devestated...but someone told me that something like 90% get denied at this stage. And I filed for Reconsideration..the 2nd stage (not all states have this stage)...and I thought I would get denied then too because the percentage is supposed to be higher for denial.

I got a lawyer from the begining...I was approved at Reconsideration BUT that stage took 11 months! The SSDI process is H*LL....and IF you are denied...do not give up...if you have a reconsideration step in your state....apply for it....and get a lawyer....learn about the DSM....take your conditions and look at what you have to meet in the DSM to be approved for SSDI....AND your age and education and experience all matter too..

If you go to Reconsideration..you will notice on your SSA account it will say something different again....information not available or something like that...and then that will change again in the future when a decision is made.
Hope that helps
