Joe, as you get older, which you have done, it gets easier to win a disability case, particularly if you do not have managerial or professional skills. One important question is whether you can stand and walk for long; another is how well you use your hands.
If you give me your city and state, I will be happy to suggest an attorney if I know one in your area. |

I'm a 49 yr. old female and have been on SSD since 2001. My problems are: bipolar...stable, fibromyalgia with Chronic pain and fatigue, degenerative joint disease in multiple areas with compression fractures and severe osteoarthritis of the thoracic and lumbar spine, asthma with COPD and interstitial lung disease, idiopathic angioedema, and hypothyroidism. I also have deformed feet due to a botched surgery. I've had superfical malignant melanoma and partial masectomy. For a couple years I've had abnormal brain MRI's with multiple and increasing number of lesions that are not being labeled as of yet, and now memory/cognitive problems that are being looked into.
My last work was at a University; a State Institution, for 13 years. In addition to the SSD, I receive disability insurance benefits through the Univerity to compensate, which brings my monthyly amount to almost what I was making when I was working.
My question is, I've been receiving SSD at a relatively young age, what happens when I reach retirement age? Do I get SS retirement benefits at all? I am really concerned about this. Thank you very much for this message board. It has been helpful! |

Yes. If you are now drawing Social Security disability benefits, and you continue to do so until you reach full retirement age, your check amount will not change, but it will start being called "retirement." |
