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.
You cannot get SSDI if you become disabled after full retirement age. But, many people younger than their SSA full retirement age may be eligible for the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program after retiring early from the workforce. It does not matter whether the person ever intended to work again. The health problems would be disabling for at least 12 months.
