I was officially diagnosed with MDS last October. Prior being correctly diagnosed, I was hospitalized for 2 weeks in May of last year. When I spoke with the Social Security guy he said my case should be an open and close case and that the effective date would be back in May. I got my first check in December. I completed my portion online and my Dr. submitted the records required. I was afraid I would be denied since you hear of people being denied a lot, although, that was not the case for me. They approved me for 2 years. Hope this helps. Lori
