Can I retire on my Social Security Disability at 52?

If you lived in Canada, you probably could - you wouldn't be taking any cruises or going on Safari, but you could still eat.

I am looking into retirement at the golden age of 52 plus i am getting Social Security Disability right now , have been getting Social Security Disability for about 6 years or less and i have gotten to the point where my health has prevented me from working any part time jobs at this time without missing so many day's in a whole year which has
happened to me at this time.
Yes i know the time has come for me just to be a stay at home mother and try to do some kind of work right at home at
this time and yes my blood pressure and anxiety has come down to a more positive level since i retired myself from
ever working again outside my home and it has benefitted my health in so many ways

Yes i am trying to get an early retirement from Social Security to see what comes out of this and to help myself and i have been exploring this and looking up all information on Social Security Retirement and all is in my favor right now

Yes, my ex did it in his 20's. My understanding is that what you get is based on what you've paid in. At 52, you should do better than he's doing... and he's making it. Of course, he got married and she works to take care of him.

I have no idea. I don't know what your benefits or your expenses will be. If you think you can afford it, though, and if it's an appealing idea to you, then you should do it.

No one can accurately answer this except for a SS case worker.

You can do whatever you want, this is a planet of free will.

i don't know, can you? i guess that will be up to the social security/disability people.

No I don't think so, but you can try to get disability, which is pretty much the same thing.

nation perhaps, but definitely not planet

I HF'd this. This isn't a survey. It's a question only answered by the Social Security administration along with the person's personal finances. To accomplish this would likely involve many communications, medical visits and a court appearance. That happened to my father. My answer is - likely NO.

Matty and CK have it right. We wouldn't know.

Without knowing what your social security payments will be and what your expenses/bills are each month, that's a pretty difficult question to answer. Social Security doesn’t pay that much; at best, you might be able to afford the bare necessities. It’s very tough to survive on social security alone without some other form(s) of income. I wish you the best of luck with your health and finances.
