Help; Divorcing Spouse with pension and disability pension

Married 25 years. Grown children. Now separated. Husband has work pension he can collect in 6 years, of which I understand I will get 1/2. BUT, now he is talking about getting out on a disability pension. How does that affect his pension? Do I get any portion of his disability?As I understand it, it will be 65% of his salary untaxed. I work and make decent money, but no pension. I cashed out a pension 5 years ago because ''his'' pension was ''our'' pension. I am 47, He is 48. Please help. Don't know how to proceed.
