Congratulations for finally getting the decision you should have received a
long time ago. :~)
There are way to many variables to give you an accurate answer. The SSA will
tell you "usually within 90 days" Which may or may not happen but usually
does. Often within 30 days. If you signed up for direct deposit keep an eye
on your account balance.
If you collected from the state aid programs while waiting they will have to
be paid back. This involves information being exchanged between the state
and SSA which can slow down the process. If you used a lawyer he has to be
paid out of your back pay also and lawyers usually get their money a day or
so before you'll get yours. If you owe child support, back taxes or other
government debt such as government backed student loans that can also slow
down the payment process.

Ignore the hate troll. He has been attacking me ever since I called him on
his political rants while he attacks those who offer an opposing view.
That's right, I don't like you. Yet hate is not in me. YOU cannot say the
same. As soon as you get your head out of your annus you'll probably stop
talking out of your ass.
Thank you for proving my point.

Don't bank on it...
Congratulation Rick! For those of use who have been through it, it is
always heart warming to read of another victorious battle against "the
system." For those still fighting, it offers inspiration and hope.
Collect your thoughts, plan your spending carefully and enjoy life as
best you can. All of our circumstances are different but being on SSDI
doesn't automatically mean you are sentenced to a life of misery.
After suffering through the process for so long then the small monthly
checks are far more appreciated than they would have been had they
kicked in automatically upon filing.
Best wishes.
