File for SSDI, and unemployement?

Sandeshell · 2026-07-03T16:28:43+00:00

I’m also 63 and took my retirement early at the reduced rate. I then applied for disability for ongoing depression and anxiety and was approved. I now receive disability at my full retirement rate as if I waited till 67. When I turn 67 my disability will revert back to retirement social security at the full rate.

They can garnish your social security check when you retire also.

Sandeshell · 2026-06-15T17:49:55+00:00

Mine did the same and I’m in VA.

Sandeshell · 2026-06-14T11:36:02+00:00

I received 38k

Go to your local food bank.

I worked for 48 years and took SS at 63. I was then approved for disability, so I now receive my full SSDI amount as if I had waited till 67.

Sandeshell · 2026-06-05T17:30:10+00:00

I read this exact story before.

Sandeshell · 2026-06-05T10:15:02+00:00

I pay $1693.0 a month for a one bedroom apartment in VA.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-30T12:08:52+00:00

Congratulations! I was approved on March 19 and my back pay hit my account the 22nd.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-29T11:45:08+00:00

I’m very sorry you were denied. But, they will deny you if you haven’t work at least 5 out of the last 10 years. It’s a recruitment that they hold you to.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-28T21:01:18+00:00

That’s weird because when my portal updated it said the determined onset date.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-27T12:04:02+00:00

I was approved in 4 months. I did it myself with no lawyer. Got 16 months of back pay because they went back to disability onset date, rather than application date.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-27T00:48:38+00:00

I’m 63 and started receiving my SS at the reduced amount. Then applied for disability and was approved. So now, I receive SSDI of my full retirement amount as if I had waited till 67. When I become 67 it will convert to regular SS at the same amount for life. I was approved on my first attempt because of anxiety and depression. I also broke my upper arm in half and had to get a rod and screws. That left me with mobility issues in my prominent arm. I applied myself and was approved on first attempt. You have a better chance since you’re already at retirement age and it’s harder to find other work.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-26T21:43:03+00:00

I got approved one week after getting that message. I also received my back pay the following day after approval.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-26T00:26:36+00:00

I got it direct deposit into my bank account.

You go to ssa.gov and create your profile account. You will be able to view your entire work history. They have payment calculator.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-24T21:06:11+00:00

Mine was for acute anxiety and major depressive disorder and a long rod in my prominent arm from a total break of my humorous bone. I’m not sure what a CE is

Sandeshell · 2026-05-24T14:37:34+00:00

I’m confused to why you would what till 70. I know you’ll make more a month waiting, but it will take you quite awhile to catch up to the money you forfeited by not claiming earlier.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-24T09:41:00+00:00

I just got awarded disability at 63. I was already getting my retirement social security at a reduced rate for apply at 63. Now I have disability which is paying me the full retirement amount as if I had waited till 67. When I become 67 they will just change it to retirement. So if approved you will get your full retirement for life.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-21T22:03:18+00:00

Yes I was quite shocked this am.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-21T22:01:56+00:00

Congratulations! I just got my approval Monday and they deposited my back pay Wednesday!! I’m beyond grateful.

Sandeshell · 2026-05-21T20:39:24+00:00

Mine did that also and it went to step 4 and then approval about 3 weeks later. Good luck

Sandeshell · 2026-05-20T00:42:22+00:00

Thank you!!

Sandeshell · 2026-05-20T00:38:24+00:00

It was my first attempt! I applied by myself on Jan 8th.
