No, because practically speaking you are either (a) not disabled and not retired, (b) disabled and not retired, or (c) retired. Social Security Disability benefits are available for qualified individuals prior to reaching their "full retirement age" under the Social Security Retirement rules. Full retirement age depends on when you were born. Once the individual reaches his/her full retirement age, the benefits received switch from disability to retirement. If the disability benefits received were Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB, aka Title II) and not Supplemental Security Income (SSI, aka Title XVI), then the typical monthly benefit received from disability will be the same amount received under Social Security Retirement. If you elect to take "early retirement" from Social Security (as early as 62 years old), you reduce your monthly retirement benefit for the rest of your life, unless you also apply for disability benefits and are found to be disabled as of the date of your early retirement, in which case your disability and retirement benefits will be the full amount retroactively.
