Complications of Low Sodium. Like potassium, having slightly low sodium levels may not cause any distinguishable symptoms. Chronic low sodium levels are much more likely to sneak by undetected than sudden drops in the electrolyte.

Applications for Social Security benefits can only be processed a maximum of four months before benefits are scheduled to begin. Thus, the earliest you can apply is age 61 and 9 months, and you can expect to receive your first payment four months later, the month after your birthday.
The best-known payments that come under the umbrella of Social Security include retirement and spousal retirement benefits. Although you can qualify to claim retirement benefits as early as age 62, you won't get the maximum benefit at that age. Whenever you're ready to apply, you can make the application online, by phone or in person at a local Social Security office. If you're turning 65, Social Security can handle your Medicare application also.
