Hi Anthony

Have a look at Working in the UK and Work Permits for the UK as a starting point. You can visit the country for up to 3 months without a visa. Then you will need to find a job and and employer that can sponsor your visa application.

You should get away with collecting SSDI as long as you can provide a US address. However, if your case ever gets reviewed while you are overseas you may lose the benefits.
