At age 62 if you have enough earned credits (work periods throughout your life) you would become eligible for a reduced portion of your social security retirement if you waited until you were 65 years of age. At age 62 you would receive approx. 75% of what you would have received if you waited until you were 65 years old.

Disability under social security prior to your retirement age (either 62 or 65) would depend on your medical condition and how disabled you would be. However you would still need enough work credits to be eligible.
