Don't let them call it entitlement either. They owe you your disability check you worked and paid it in. Imagine if you had of paid the amount paid in weekly for private disability insurance. How much more would get each month. Entitlement my butt.

No, at retirement they will switch you from disability to social security. You will get the exact same amount.

Please go to ssa office, face to face with these people get the necessary forms you need to fill out the burdens on you to fill out the correct forms

how did you get approved? I'm 44 right now and im getting military disability

@@TheShadowVorlon thanks for the information i talk to a disability law office and they gave me some papers for my doctor to sign. So they can get my appeal stared and i have some new medical stuff to Summit in my claim also.

People need to understand Social Security disability is based on their rules of disability. Not what you think the disability requirements should be. Do some research before you apply and make sure you fulfill their requirements with proper documentation to prove it.

@@donaldhebert3395 So I had my AJL hearing about 3 months ago still no decision. I later thought that I should have used the evidence from my eye doctor as it relates to my diabetes which has been going on for over 3 years. Is it too late to add this evidence? If I'm denied at the hearing can I add the evidence for the Appeical Council? I'm 65 year old and I applied at age 63 Thanks.

Your SSDI will turn at 67 to your retirement benefits at the same rate. I don't know any advantage for 62 and you may loose your Medicare.

took me three years to get approved even as a heart failure patient. My attorney was also a moron but my closing statements to a judge is what got me approved I believe because I later found out that he only approves 1/3 of his cases

Blues Dirt They deny everyone first time around. Perhaps for people to give up. It’s so frustrating , but have to be persistent and it’s always better to go in to Social security office.

Blues Dirt don’t give up. Very often disability will fight you. They are also looking for very specific things. It can be a tricky thing. Get a disability lawyer if you don’t have one. But I believe after a 2nd denial you go before a judge who will make a determination on your case.

You have to wait six months after you stop working, but you can apply for unemployment in the mean time. Make sure you have every piece of paper from the from the doctor stating that you will not be able to work.

@@loulou236 Not true. I used to be a CDL driver but now, I only work part time at McDonalds. One can work but not make more than $1000 per month SSDI just approved me today. It was my third try and I had to get a good lawyer.

MOST DEFINITELY hire a ssdi attorney , but as far as a local attorney I don't know , but please get a attorney that ssdi recovery is all that he does ......it's a slippery slope out there. ....and good luck to you.

I used a company called “ALLSUP” They got me approved in less than a year!

It meaner that your husband had more money then you in SSDI that's all.

You have to be working or recently working to apply for disability

@@SandfordSmythe That was my point by the time you get through the system doesn't matter if you worked or not. Was too sick to work. Had to go through the process. Before it got approved time is what kept me from getting my full benefits because I was not able to keep working while going through the process.

@@princessebony12 Date of disability was not back dated?

I thought it 'automatically" turned in to regular Social Security when you reach full retirement age?

Never I been getting one ever 2 year for over 15 years now

They usually convert it over to regular social security at 65. If you don't hear from them call them.

@@jeanpearson7856 Your SSDI converts to normal SS (same amount) at your full retirement age.

@@imxploring I think I heard that somewhere without research I couldn't swear, but think you are correct.

@@jeanpearson7856 yes the Social SECURITY Administration will convert your SSDI at your retirement age to social security but you will only receive the same amount of money that you were receiving on your SSDI. That's what I was told by the local Social Security Administration office.

You are not a disabled worker anymore.

@small coffee thank you I wasn’t holding my breath on any kind of disability my eyes are still good enough so I applied to be a postal worker and my first day was today 😁 hope your situation improves although that’s hopeful wishes for us both but not reality I am just clinging to hope that someone will have a cure or fix as loosing ones sight is devastating reguardless the age

Sue William I will be 65 and have been on SSDI for a long time now I broke my back I found out recently that when I turn 65 Social Security will automatically change over for me and I'm sure it will do the same for you if they don't change the rules between before you're 65 or 66 I hope this helped a little

@@deborahtillison6990 I guess I really want to know is. Am I going to get the larger of the two?

I'm 52 and have both. You should already be getting it. Seems some do and some don't. The SS system is so complicated so it's hard to give a clear cut answer.

You should get Medicare two years after you were approved for SSDI.

Hopefully, if you have enough credits in SS retirements [ you apparently didn't have enough for SS Disability ], they will put you on that at 62 and you can get Medicare at 65. Depending on your income, you may retain Medicaid at 62 and afterwards.

at 66 ssdi revertsto standard retirement benefits. im 65+5 mo and i wantto revert to retirement so i can earn some $ and maybe

Anyone and everyone receiving SSI and or SSDI will be converted to SS Retirement upon reaching their personal retirement age which varies a bit from person to person based on their birthyear. Which means any and all benniits that were available will be altered to that which Retirement individuals get. The biggiest change will be to ones medical. Where as on use to get a 100 percent med coverage. Retirement individuals med plan is a 80 20 split. Thus where one is use to totally free, now is responsible for 20 percent.

They may "amend" the onset of disability date to your 50th birthday either initially or when you see the judge. I will post a new video with more information about the age change during the application process. - Antonio Bruni

Thanks. I haven't been denied yet though. If a judge is involved,that is a long way down the road.

I'm 61 and get 375 worked all my life since 13 what happened

Don't retire it's a scam go work until you die congress and senator need to die with millions in the banks what is the cause this is not my world how about you come in broke leaving broke ain't no money holding me down

You won't. Only retirement at your age. He said that in the video!

No, if you are getting SSDI that is the amount you would have received at FULL retirement at age 67 which is more than your age 62 amount for early retirement.

You would end up with 1/2 the money you would get it you got on SSDI or worked to retirement age.

Not half, but 25 % for life,but if you change your mind about early retirement you must stop it before 12 months, and pay back the money you already received.

You might be confused.... if they had reached full retirement age their benefit (under SSDI) would be same as normal SS benefits. Why would they go through the process to get the same benefit?

Why are you so concerned that people who paid into the system collect a check when they are disabled or retirement age. I would be more interested about my own interest in my time of need. Paid into private retirement and disability funds the same amount would have bought one whopper of a disability policy.

@@decoy2636 I believe you're wasting your breath.... the original poster most likely has their facts wrong. It doesn't make much sense since SSDI benefit would be equal to FRA SS benefits and in fact.... if one is receiving SSDI prior to FRA those benefit convert to normal SS benefits when you reach FRA.

@@imxploring ok I will make a note of your take and withhold further musings. However I do think one should be curious and to be sure check for themselves as well.

@@decoy2636 Agreed.... one has to do their own research..... however experience has shown me that getting an answer directly from the SSA office is often difficult.... and many times wrong.

What happened? Did you break a fingernail?

Til you die if you are permanently disabled!

angelfirelite Thanks for replying 😍

@@aprilthompson3041 ....No worries and stay safe God Bless!

If SSI, watch your assets.

@@mind_of_A I did that! Now I rent a room out of the back of a random business. The thing is, all of those options and the options that I have had to endure for 15 years and for probably the rest of my life as I see people not caring that so many people have more money than they could possibly need whereas people like me who really ought to be able to get at least poverty income not below poverty income like it was originally stated to be when social security was first enacted, It's just sad that these are the options I'm faced with. I've already been homeless, homeless shelters are actually worse than being on the street! If you don't believe me do research yourself that doesn't come from one source and isn't biased to one side. Obviously there are homeless shelters that do a lot of good, but, it doesn't expunge the bad that exists. Also, after recovering from homelessness from 2013 to 2015 I have now accumulated a small rooms worth of stuff, call me conceited or materialistic but I kind of want to keep the small amount of belongings I have instead of being ripped away from everything that I have been able to slowly accumulate so far. So again, excuse me for being a bit distraught that I can't even get half of what people make just because I was literally born with my disabilities. But whatever, totally fair system! Also, just fyi, I'm on disability for a legitimate reason and the reason why I can't live in an RV or in shelters anymore is because I need better personal Care tied to my medical Care than those living situations can provide. It would be legitimately more humane for somebody to give me the same treatment you would give a dog versus living like that.

Who would want to stay in California ?

@@tiazadobbs7475 agreed, I REALLY wish I didn't have to stay in California. But, out of everywhere I've lived here is where I'm receiving the best healthcare someone in my situation can get access to. The thing is, every time you have to move, switch doctors, hospitals, etc. you have to go through being rediagnosed for everything you have been diagnosed with. This is a legal thing because if you go from doctor A to doctor B in a new state, if doctor B takes doctor A's word from patient files and previous diagnosis, if the diagnosis is wrong and ends up causing harm to the patient, they can sue and then both doctors A&B are held liable. But here's my problem. I DO NOT have the health to go through being rediagnosed for everything and have to have a gap in the plethora of medications that I have to take to be able to NOT fall apart and possibly almost probably worse. So if I can't figure out a way to get to stay in this area I'm MORTIFIED at the aspect of having to move somewhere where I have to go through this again when the last time I had to... Well that's too much information, just take my word; it was bad. But the thing is I can't find ANYWHERE to live on my type of SSI income because I was disabled before being able to make work credits for any better payout. So I get less than the intended minimum regular people get. 14 years ago, to rent a room from a house was only a few hundred dollars depending on a number of factors. But now I'm seeing rooms being rented for the same price my house costed me to rent. I can't afford that but these SAME people wants first month's AND second months rent WITH last month's rent, deposit, pet deposit if applicable, to make 4 times the monthly rent a month, ridiculous rules, terrible restrictions, ect. Really, it's over the top. Also, the sheer amount of money that they are asking for would be ILLEGAL for me to have since these people are forcing you to have to pay so much and earn so much but in reality, people who are on my type of income can't have $2,000 or more in monetary worth. So, IDK what to do because NOWHERE will take a chance on me even though I'm not anywhere near a bad tennant. But yeah, I think me wanting to keep my healthcare is important and valid but I have to move where I can afford to but I can't afford ANYWHERE in the US, I've been putting out at least 20 applications for 2Years now! I'd love to live in Washington, or Oregon, or Maine, or, well, honestly I'm not picky but there are certain states I do have to pass up because they don't have the ability to take care of me medically, they don't have income protection, or other legal protections from bigotry and hatred. Again, there are SO many more places I'd rather be but I'm poverty stricken, but I've been trying but I don't make 1/3rd as much I need to to survive. I don't know what is going to happen. I'm quite scared because I can't see this in anyway getting any better unless we realize how backwards our actions are and that we've had the ability to elicit real challenge that would benefit everyone in the short term AND long term. I don't know but these Western Imperialist ideologies are not working. But yeah. Again, I agree with you, I just don't have the health, the money, or the connections to move anywhere I need to or want to.

Age 55, it goes to reviews at 7 year increments

@@benvarela4472 not necessarily. I'm on SSDI was reviewed 3 years ago and again this year. I am 57.

@@rickovery Damn!! For real??? You must live in Tennessee, I've heard some horror stories in that state about SSDI

@@benvarela4472 I live in Texas. On my short form CDR it still shows I'm on a three year cycle.

@@rickovery I think you can ask to have them reconsider at age 62 for 7 year reviews in writing. At that point you would be too old for them to take you off of SSDI.

Barb Dwyer a tennis racket? Badminton racket? What do you know? Your obviously don’t have a disability or you wouldn’t be saying that. You have no idea how many hoops people who apply for disability have to jump through. I am sure they would rather have their health. People like you who don’t understand the harsher realities of life with disabilities should keep their daft and uninformed opinions to their selves. No disrespect intended, but 😤

They will tell you to just stop taking benzos.

No, you've got it reversed. When you hit retirement age (after you apply and/or hit age 66) your disability converts automatically to Social Security retirement.

Nope.... you don't get both.

You will get both social security and SSDI at age 62, however your SSDI will be greatly reduced, and depending on your social security the combined total might be less then your current SSDI

@@merrilymunson5010 I don't believe that is the case. Your SSDI converts to regular SS at FRA. Please check with the SSA. Under normal circumstances the benefit will be the same. Under no circumstances will the benefit be more. There is a very unique situation where it could be less if you had employment income not subject to SS tax.

No matter how SS "designates" the breakdown of your monthly SS check you will not be getting a raise (other than the annual COLA if there is one) when you turn 62.

Dude, everything you commented on is 100% wrong wrong wrong.who have you been talking to,Trump no doubt.total ignorance.

You sound as ignorant as your thumbnail looks. You shouldn’t spew nonsense. At full retirement age your SSDI simply changes over to SS. Your dollar amount stays the same. It doesn’t decrease at all. Either get it right or stop posting bs.

@@EL-kf8nq How much does one on SSDI pay out of pocket for any type of medical coverage. How much does one on SS pay out of pocket for medical coverage. As a retired person, I'm responsible for 20 percent. Those on SSDI don't pay a dime. Not to mention, various states have bennifit for those on SSDI but not those on SS. Because my retirement check is considerable higher, I don't qualify for most state bennifits. If it's true and a picture says a thousand words, then your retort is a bit short.

@@wmgthilgen True my parents are in the same situation. There needs to be more medical help for retirees. The co-pays and premiums are rediculous for someone on a fixed income.

@@wmgthilgen SS/SSDI or SSI is not in the medical coverage business. SSI will entitle you to Medicaid. SS retirement will entitle you to Medicare at 65. SS Disability will entitle you to Medicare two years after its award. And you seem to be confusing SSDI with SSI.

@Starla Grady noones beating up anyone noones not saying anything but my case its not cause i just want it youre juding me already..listen to your own words and abide by them..have great day!

@Starla Grady I would gladly live on it if I could get approved. Do whatever it took to lower my living expenses. Working is horrible for me.

Took me seven years to get mine. Was eligible for ssdi when I started but because it took so long I only was eligible for ssi at the finish.

Yes sometimes it takes a while. Those who have never had to try it have no idea of the stress and whoops one has to go through. But you have no other options when your in need of it and someone behind a desk decides. If you didn't need it your certainly wouldn't put yourself through such trevail. This is how whacky ss is. My sister has six brain tumors and three are cancer. She is legally blind. And a host of other issues and all of the sudden they took her check still don't know why. She is in the process of getting it back when it never should have been taken in the first place. Anyone who hasn't dealt with ss doesn't have a clue how it works. They do this type of thing all the time to people. You can lose your benifits at anytime for any reason they see fit. It's a shame.

I'm sure any parent would want a healthy child over any amount of money which would never be enough to really care for a special needs child. You need a Heart check.

@@waynemorris2342 this person difinetly has a heart problem. I've had a sick child. Trust me you'll want their health over money. Thank God she is a healthy 23 year old who is married now. I'm thankful for the help I got for her when she was so ill. As the saying goes walk a mile in my shoes. Shouldn't judge unless you've been in that situation. Because if you have you wouldn't judge so easily. Life is hard enough no judging needed. I just have to wonder about some people. Hopefully they want ever have to need for anything. Have a blessed day Aaron 🙂🙂

The parent is a representative payee for the child's award. Annual auditing. And SSI is not paid from SS Funds.

Sorry. I don't understand the problem. Of course you can make more working than on Social Security. Social security was not the end all for retirement. It is ment to help out. Most adults at retirement age. House paid off. Kids gone. Just you the wife and a dog. Some states are cheaper to live in than others. Explore you options. Calm down. Read and edit your post. It's hard to understand.
