Larry do you think they would raise my SSI CIZ I HAVE Rheumatoid arthritis please let me know ok

Hi,

I'd need more information to properly answer your question. If you're receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then you're either at least age 65 or you've been determined by Social Security to be either blind or disabled. So, an additional disability wouldn't cause your benefit rate to increase.

However, if you're drawing reduced Social Security retirement benefits and you're under full retirement age (FRA) then becoming disabled could make you eligible for a higher benefit rate. For information on applying for disability benefits refer to the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/disability/.

Best, Jerry
