Hi bluegirl, I am still waiting for my hearing, but my brother had his a couple years ago. They told him within days after the hearing what percentage they disabled him at, and how much money that would mean both retrocatively and monthly. The one who should have no trouble ferreting out this information is your lawyer. He/she undoubtedly has some idea as to just when and how much payment is expected. I mean, that's what they're best at, isn't it?

I am also in Washington state, and have waited two years now for my hearing. My brother waited half that time in Oregon. Could also be that they are so much slower at commencing their payments. The 338 sounds suspiciously like dshs payment amount. Is there anyone close to you like a family member to help you navigate toward some answers? Otherwise, starting with the lawyer is my only idea. good luck.
