Is it possible to get disability while on retirement? My father in-law is a retired man although he does still work. He is having many health problems right now and we are unable to find any type of help. Medicare and welfare will not cover him since they go by the amount of income and do not take into consideration how much him and his wife have to pay out! He has heart problems so finding affordable coverage is damn near impossible. Does anybody know of anything we can do?! We live in the state of Pennsylvania, so if you know of any medical help please let me know!!! Also I need to know if someone knows for certain whether or not he can file for disability since he is getting ssi on retirement!

He can try to apply for social security disability as it would not hurt to try but if he is retired and already receiving government assistance they may refuse him.
social security income
and
social security disability income ARE DIFFERENT.

I took early retirement at 62 my husband passed away and i got early widows benefit at 64. the two of them together are not enough to even live modestly on and now my health is failing and I may not be able to work my part time job anymore. Can i get disability or switch to my husbands social security retirement because it is more than mine or is there anything I can do to get more money so that I have enough to live on
