A: I do not have specific information to respond fully to your question. Since you have been receiving SSDI since 2006, I assume that you took your early pension at approximately that time. Since this was an employment related benefit, the governing Law was probably Federal, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. At this point, more than 10 years later, the likelihood of your reversing that assignment is slim to none.
