Waiting will get you less money, and for a shorter amount of time. It just gives them more time to figure out a way to take even more from you.
Only 3 ways out of this mess. Reduce the numbers of people that receive benefits. Which means coming up with a clever way of killing off a lot of old folk. Increasing the age to receive benefits so high that fewer people will live long enough to apply for benefits. Or just say the well is dry and end the program all together.
I think they are already working on all three.
