My husband applied for SSDI last year and got his approval letter the next month, since he was approved like right away,will he receive any back pay at all?Will he get a small amount for the weeks from the time he applied to when he was approved?
No, you don't get paid for that 5 month period.

I applied and said I had been unable to work since Feb. 2012. Once approved, my benefits began to accrue in August.
