To my knowledge - SSI ( disability) payments go back to the date that you were determined to be disabled.
I have seen where the applicant fought the agency for years - then when approved recieved a rather large check for payments back to the day first claimed...

6 months after disability date (5 months waiting period from disability date, payments begin in the 6th month). Then begins a 1 year waiting period to qualify for Medicare coverage.
