Im 59 and been out of work for 2 years. A friend of mine told me to file for Social Security (disability) early so I did. I filled out a few pages of paperwork, had a 15 minute examination by their chosen doctor, and lo and behold I'm now receiving $2280/month benefits which is more than my regular payment at 62 would be.
Life is good. And when I reach 65 and can start drawing my pension and 401K, life will be REAL good!

401K can be drawn at 59 and a half. Are you the OP?

Spelling, grammar, and punctualization are obviously not your strong skills.
