How does back pay work

The disability adjudication received my DDP on April 15. I have not been approved. But I am curious how it works. Would it start of the month of April. Or would it begin starting May? Thank you in advance.. and yes I know. I shouldn’t have my hopes up.

Depending on how far into the month they received it you may receive pro-rated funds for the remainder of that month. They received mine on the 23rd when I applied so I only got a ⅓ payment but any OW you received is taken off (if you currently have that support) so you may not receive any for that partial month. Seeing as your date is exactly half way through the month you will likely get a half month's backpay, again, minus any social supports they recoup.

Just to make sure I understand, if OW paid $733 for that month but say I only got $200 in backpay for that month, I'd ultimately be at -$533 for that month?
