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.
The youngest age you can start taking Social Security benefits is 62, but that's considered early. So your check will be reduced based on how many months away from full retirement you are. Full retirement is the age when you qualify for unreduced Social Security benefits. If you were born after 1960, that's age 67. If you delay benefits until age 70, you may be eligible to receive a credit of up to 8 percent per year, depending on your birth year.
