You can collect social security disability, but not disability and social security. Now you can collect workman's comp disability and social security.

Nope, when you hit retirement age, you get social security only. It will probably be less than the disability.
When my mother who was on disability turned 65, the disability stopped and the lesser amount for social security began.

Social Security disability only goes up to retirement age, then they switch you over to retirement benefits. You don't get both at the same time.

You'd have to check the SDI rules, but I think disability only applies during your working years, not during your retirement years. Disability is meant to replace the wages lost due to your disability; Social Security is designed to help you save/invest money for your retirement. So I think it's one or the other.

No. You cannot do this. See answers to your question "SSD and SS retirement any pros out there?"

No. You can opt for the higher of the two payouts.
