Q. I am 59 years old. I receive a CSRS disability annuity from service with the Postal Service. When I turn 62, I will also qualify for a Social Security annuity. Will I still receive my CSRS disability annuity at that point? Will I have the option of postponing taking my Social Security?

I’m considering applying for disability retirement but want to be sure I understand all of the ramifications. These are the things I think I understand to be true.
