Dear Lee,
You cannot collect disability and social security together. You get one or the other. Yes, he can apply now for disability and they will consider his medical condition and let you know. I got it at 62 because I went to apply for Soc. Sec. and asked about disability. I did have other things wrong with me that as a lump sum got me the disability without a lawyer or any extra help. I had strokes, diabetes, and the cml. Good luck in getting it! We went down to the SS office and applied in person with an appointment. Many blessings, Susan F.

I worked for a close friend of mine at his Ford Dealership until I found out the I had CML two weeks before Xmas, that was 1999. My Cancer Doctor told my wife at that time to apply for SS and was approved within two weeks. At that time I was getting a pension check from the company that I retired from. By the way my Cancer Doctor wrote a letter to go along with my letter to SS. Of course things may have changed by now I'm not sure but give it a try. greenie In a message dated 2/2/2017 8:09:15 A.M.

He won't be eligible for social security for another 3 years. Does anyone know if it is possible to collect disability during retirement? Also, when he is able to collect social security, will he be able to collect both? I would love your feedback and advice. Blessings and 18's to you all!
