Disability Claim In The Future?

I have already posted about Mike McNulty's expected retirement from Congress. McNulty is the Chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, making him a VIP in the Social Security world. Now comes word of the probable reason for his retirement from Congress at a relatively young age -- 60. He has a history of childhood polio and has become less mobile in recent years. Post-polio syndrome? Hint to McNulty: File your Social Security disability claim the same day you stop work. Post-polio syndrome claims are often denied. Appeals can take a very long time.
