Yes. A pension plan should not disqualify you from Social Security. The amount you get from it though might be less if your income is over a certain amount. Apply for long term disability and see what happens.

I just retired early with menieres disease, I got my early med from employer but no ssi because already drawing to much, but I did qualify to apply for regular ssd, I was turned down and I am now currently appealing, my attorney believes I will win in the end but of course any attorney will say that. Since I can't drive very often I think I will win. Good luck to you, hope you get it. God Bless

No you cannot, because you didn't pay into Social Security. You paid into railroad retirement instead. However I believe if your retirement is less than the poverty level, you may be entitled to help through the welfare syste, But If you ever worked and paid into social security you may be entitled. Contact the SSA for a readout on your account.

No, because you obviously weren't disabled prior to turning 22. You canapply for SSDI.
