by |Published

A well-timed Social Security Disability claim can increase retirement benefits in certain circumstances.  Successfully claiming disability will lessen the early retirement reduction for people who stop working due to health reasons. OBF Disability Attorney Thomas O’Brien shares this strategy in an article published on Medium.com.  Seeking Disability benefits prior to early retirement and with supportive medical evidence benefits retirees by reducing the early retirement penalty.
