By saying that benefits were EARNED, you imply that you worked steadily for those 34 years and were current with your quarters. You could not do that because of your health issues, so those benefits were NOT earned.
It is important to make that point clear so as not to confuse the new posters who come here with questions, trying to understand how the system works.
