Hi all,
Before I start to wade through the Social Security website, I thought someone here might have the answer. My wife, who turns 60 next week, was recently diagnosed with cancer and is on heavy chemotherapy, which will continue for some time. She had to leave her job and hasn't been able to work. My question is, can she collect disability from Social Security and if so, how will that affect her long-term (we hope) benefits? We originally were going to wait until she turned 66...now we're looking at 62. But would the disability change our calcualtions? Thanks for your help....C
