Do I get back-pay for all the time I have to wait on an appeal?

Generally, yes. It depends on when you became disabled. For Disability Insurance Benefits, there is a five month waiting period for benefits to start from the time you became disabled. There is no waiting period for SSI. Other than these conditions, you will generally get all back benefits you are owed through the time that you win your appeal.
