The five month waiting period ensures that during the early months of disability, they do not pay benefits to persons who do not have long-term disabilities. Therefore, Social Security disability benefits will be paid for the sixth month after the date your disability began.

Social Security assumes that working families have access to other resources to provide support during periods of short-term disabilities, including workers compensation, insurance, savings, and investments. Social Security is designed to provide a continuing income to you and your family when you are unable to do so. Benefits continue as long as you remain disabled.
