Currently, if you have worked while disabled, you can take early retirement before age 62, at the earliest from age 55, if you meet certain conditions. The employee must have a permanent disability rate up to a minimum of 50% and have a document attesting to the status of disabled worker (RQTH)for periods prior to 2016. Note that this quality is not viable for periods after December 31, 2015 indicates the site of the Public service.
