I have Coronary Heart Disease and following a heart attack in May of 2014 I had a single stent implanted. I received 60% from the VA (AO). I went back to work with some restrictions on where I could go. After a few months I decided, for many reasons, to retire at age 65. I now collect SSA retirement. I thought I read somewhere that if you're approved for SSDI at my age and retired they would bump up your monthly amount to match what they would have given me if I had started collecting at age 70. Is that true? That is quite a difference!

When I turned 66, my SSDI was converted to regular SS with my having done anything. The monthly payment amount remained the same. I had been drawing SSDI for 32 years. Yikes!!!

Okay, here we go: SSDI pays the full rate that you would have received at the full retirement age. Taking retirement, prior to full retirement age, can reduce the amount you'll receive by up to about
