As of 2015, full retirement age is 67 if you were born after 1960. The amount you receive doesn't change because disability benefits were calculated based on what you would receive at retirement age. However, you may see an increase if Social Security provides a cost of living increase.
Your initial application for Social Security Disability benefits, whether filing for SSDI or SSI, is completed online via Social Securityâs website. Once you have submitted the application, it can take up to 30 days for Social Security to acknowledge and process your information. Keep in mind, this is a general time frame. As with each part of the disability process, Social Security is not confined to time limits.
