Does anyone know if I can collect Social Security at the same time as Long Term Disability? A retirement age extension only means LTD to me - consider it the 'new' pilot pension.
One only has a finite shelf life before they expire. And the last few years prior to expiry are usually marked with reduced mobility and health complications.

Personally, I want to spend a decent chunk of my kids' inheritance before I check out. I don't want to grow it by spending some precious years working. If one doesn't have a decent chunk of money saved by 65, I guarantee that they won't after any age increase. You can't fix spendthrifts by increasing retirement age.

I must be getting old and senile because I'm not seeing any indication out there that ICAO is pushing for further age increases...
