The five-month period is counted from the onset of your disability. If you win you will be entitled to back benefits.

This is incorrect. SSDI has a 5-month waiting period. This is commonly known as an "elimination period" in insurance circles and is basically nothing more than a deductible. The "insurer" (the fed gubmint) does NOT pay you for your deductible, so to speak.
It's true that the average SSDI claim takes about a year to get approved. In the event of something like this occurring, the benefit will be paid retroactive to the END OF THE WAITING PERIOD, not retroactive to the date of disability.
