The number of people drawing Disability Insurance Benefits from Social Security declined in July. This number has declined in nine of the last ten months. There has been a decline of 0.3% from the peak in September of last year.

Yes as the Baby Boomers become eligible for retirement benefits, they drop off of the disability rolls, not a surprise at all.
I admit I'm too lazy to do the math on my own, so I'm asking the question: if numbers of disability recipients are declining, and there are more people working each month, not to mention the virtual absence of cost-of-living increases, why is the disability trust fund in danger of running out of money?

Might be because us baby boomers are dying at a greater rate than ever before.
