However, collecting Social Security retirement early rather than applying for disability has drawbacks that should be considered before making this decision. If you take early retirement once you reach the age of 62, your retirement benefit amount will be permanently reduced. The amount your benefit is reduced depends on the number of months you have until full retirement age (66 in 2016). On the other hand, if you are awarded Social Security disability benefits (SSDI), your benefit amount will be equal to what you were entitled to receive once you reached your full retirement age.
For Social Security retirement benefits, you must be between the ages of 62 and 70 to start collecting benefits. To check on your eligibility, see Nolo's article Checking you Social Security Earnings and Benefits or call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213. The Social Security Administration used to consider 65 to be full retirement age for the retirement benefit.
