You better start asking the right questions now. When I went on SSDI after twenty years civil service besides the six month wait with no income before it starts coming in the SSDI was taken out of my retirement pay first and what was left over paid my health insurance which I consequently could no longer qualify for anywhere else. So after ten years of SSDI my retirement pay is down to $84 per month once the health insurance premiums are taken out. If you can still workfull time, you may want to get a Roth IRA going that should help a little. I would stop by your local Social Security office and find out for sure what to expect. Good Luck.
