Why would you want to do that? If you opted to take early retirement benefits, you receive a reduced benefit amount for the rest of your life. However, if you have been approved for disability benefits, the Social Security Administration is agreeing that your medical condition would have kept you working until full retirement age had you not been disabled. As a result, the Social Security Administration doesn’t penalize you from being disabled, you are allowed to collect your full retirement amount, instead of the reduced amount for the rest of your life.
What You Should Do:

Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration doesn’t always make it easy for those who are disabled to get the Social Security Disability benefits that they deserve. Contact Pinellas Park Social Security Disability attorney Nancy Cavey to learn more about your rights to Social Security benefits. Remember, if she doesn’t collect a fee if she doesn’t win your case.
