2nd, as the other poster said, start now. Disability will take a good two year fight and you will probably have to get an attorney for it.

3rd, I think you can claim ss and your pension no problem.
SS supplemental, I don't know about.

start by looking up requirement to collect that ss supplement. And just call and ask. "Am I able to collect this if I qualify for disability?"

I think you can see those disability lawyers for a free consult. They may very well know your answers and be able to give you advice. You will not be obligated to them but sadly I think the only way to get disability these days is to hire one of them.

go to a doctor now and confirm your diagnosis.

good luck to you
