When I recieved my new benefit amount letter, it showed no increase from last year. Why??

In 2007 $3323.00 was withheld from my SS checks because I earned $19,126 in 2006.
Now Social Security is witholding $2300.00 because of what I earned in 2007.
Date of Birth 3/19/1942
I started drawing SS at age 62.
Please Explaine your comment:
"But benefits withheld because you are working aren't lost forever. If you earn more than the income limits in your early and mid-60s after signing up for Social Security, your check will be recalculated to a higher amount when you reach full retirement age."

I am only getting a $1.00 increase in my Social Security next year and I want to know why when there is supposed to be a 5.8 increase.
