It took 5 months. Even after getting approved for the emergency money they still declined her for the regular disability.
That's a shame. Luckily, I'm better now and back at work. But, I was out of work for over a year and definitely feel I deserve the insurance I paid for. I feel bad for those permanently disabled that cannot go back to work and support themselves again. They have to wait such long periods of time, then get rejected, then wait, then hope and my god, by the time they get their insurance payments they could be homeless.
