Should I Be Able To Get Ssdi

[roses15534]

I am 51 retired Marine with 100% p&t rating and work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Dept of Corrections but i am going to retire soon from there. would I be able to get ssdi after I retire again? If I do get it is there any type of offset to my va disability monies or my retirment monies? my disabilities are listed below in my signature thanks in advance.

You may be able to get SSDI, if you paid into the system, during the past 10 yrs. A friend's son gets 100% from VA, full disability from NH state employee disability and SSDI. As an employee of the PA DOC you may have paid state retirement, rather than SS, in which case you may not be able to collect SS until age 66 or 67. jmo

Forgot to add, might you be better off requesting disability from the DOC, rather than retirement??

I agree with the advice given above.

I know that if you are over 50 it is more likely you'll get SSDI. Look up grid system social security on YouTube.
