When a disability award is made the Social Security Administration usually goes back to the date the claim was filed and pays the accrued arrearage up to the time the award is made and makes monthly payments thereafter.

When you get approved for disability they will determine the date that you became disabled. You will get paid from that date forward.

I don't know. Why not ask a civil lawyer instead of a criminal lawyer.

The retroactivity will be awarded back to the date that they find that you were disabled or the date that you first filed, whichever came second.

Payments go back to date you filed for disability, but not for previous filings that were denied.

Each case is different and no one can give you advice about documents that you filed with SSA without seeing them. It may go back to the initial date that you filed, or it may go back to the most recent date that you filed.

This is not criminal defense. Not only that I have no idea why you were denied disability. You need to find a lawyer who handles disability cases not criminal defense.
