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).
