Saturday 15 March 2008 20.13 EDT. Question: When I have to sit still for long periods I fall asleep. This can happen at the theatre, at the cinema or, most embarrassingly, during meetings at work. It's almost painful trying to keep myself awake, and I become dizzy and disoriented.
If you are under age 62, Federal retirement law requires your disability benefits. under FERS to be reduced by 100 percent of your social security benefit for any. month in which you are entitled to social security disability benefits during the. first 12 months of eligibility.
If they are old or disabled enough to draw benefits, then you may qualify, depending on your own age and the length of the marriage. The minimum age for Social Security retirement is 62; you can apply for disability benefits at 18 or older. Taking Social Security retirement before your full retirement age, however, means your benefit is permanently reduced. Full retirement age varies from 65 to 67, depending on the year of your birth.
