I had a workers' compensation case that settled in 2017. I noticed a Medicare set aside rider, which my lawyer had me sign. The lawyer told me the information in the last paragraph was not what it said, but I later found out the net settlement amount was different and I received much less than what the rider stated. Is this legal, and can it be considered legal malpractice in Illinois?

Should I file for disability before I retire on August 12th, or wait until after I retire? I am 59 years old, have permanent issues with my right leg, and have recently fractured my back, which has worsened my condition. I have been working since May 1st but will be retiring soon due to my health issues. I have a negligence claim against my insurance company and doctors for not treating me properly after my MRI in May.
