What does my husband need to know about retiring?

Question

He is 50, and is concidering applying for disability due to his physical limitations and mental road blocks preventing him changing careers.

What should we do first? What do we need to know about the process - we would like to make the transition as smooth as possible, but are unsure how to go about taking the steps we need to - cause we don't know what steps we need to take - anyone with advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Getting approved for disability isn't automatic, and isn't easy.  It will depend on the level of his physical limitations, and some on how persistent he is in appealing if he's turned down.  Not sure what you mean by "mental road blocks" but that doesn't sound like something he'd be approved based on.

Answer 2

It will statistically shorten his life -- its boring.
