Can this person change their status to collect 'Social Security Disability Income', this would give that person additional monies, and I believe 'tax free'.

Thoughts if this is possible?
Unfortunately the answer is no. Once you reach retirement age the SSDI changes to SSI because in their eyes you reached retirement age and disability is paid out based on the fact you would be working but can’t due to a physical or mental condition
