What you stated is true in some cases not all. It depends on the circumstances & sometimes ones age.
There are those who collect SSDI & a pension(s)....
There are "wealthy" people who collect SSDI...
There are folks who did not deplete their savings, investments, etc., collect SSDI & still living a comfortable life financially
