Congratulations on getting through the mess of Social Security/Disability (not that you want to be 'disabled'). My husband suffers from several issues (back, Parkinson's,...) and was approved for SSDI 5 year ago at age 62. Though his 'full' retirement age would have been 66.7, he received the equivalent of his full social security benefit - it was just paid through SSDI and not SSI. When he reached the 66.7 years, his file was switched from SSDI to SSI - same amounts, just different government accounting agencies. Certainly take the time to confirm your situation with SSA, but hopefully you will not see any decreases.
