What country are you in? How can anyone possibly answer otherwise.
Also, do you have a private pension (IRA, RRSP, etc.) or employer's pension?
If you are dependent upon social security/state pension you will starve. There are, however, some means-tested benefits.
Retiring before 59-1/2 may increase your tax bill on personal pensions in the USA. And retiring in the USA or Canada and claiming state pension will reduce that pension proportionately on an actuarial basis.
There are lots of Web sites to help you -- Google or something like that. Also, consider moving to a cheap state: http://moneycentral.msn.com/articles/retire/basics/9838.asp or country (Costa Rica, Mexico . . .) -- there are Web sites on that, too.

For the UK....
nothin if u retire early because u are depriving urself of income, so u cant claim jsa, income support or incapacity benefit.
If u were ill and had a sick note u could put in claims for income support and incapacity.
if u were seriously disabled and needed frequent supervision u maybe able to claim for disability living allowance
if you were caring for someone on medium rate care component of DLA u could apply for carers allowance
if u deferred ur pension for about 5 yrs u would get a healthy lump sum - its an option if u are financially comfortable

NOTHING! Well I am pretty sure you cannot in the UK. You get your pension when you reach retirement age.
As for CLAIMING - why the hell should the honest, hardworking, taxpayers fund your desire for an early retirement.
Do like the rest of us do and WORK.

Assuming that you are in the U.S., there are 50 states and probably that many ways to answer your question.

Depends. If you're an illegal immigrant, lazy bum, benefits cheat, tax dodger etc you should do quite well. Keep at it.
