Seasaw was working until she got SSDI then went back to work when she was ready. There's lots of info on this in the insurance forum......I think in the work forum there's info on it too.

It's Seesaw, not Seasaw, lol, but yes, I got mine approved quickly, within a few months, I was only on it for 18 months then was able to go back to work. I was back to work for 18 months, then did another 7 months on it (there;s a time period where it can be automatically reinstated without reapplying after you go back to work) and now I am off it again. To get it on the first try it must be well documented, but also, I had private disability insurance that was approved first, so that helped me get my SSDI on the first try.
I'm happy to answer questions about it.
