As of 2015, full retirement age is 67 if you were born after 1960. The amount you receive doesn't change because disability benefits were calculated based on what you would receive at retirement age. However, you may see an increase if Social Security provides a cost of living increase.
The minimum age for Social Security disability benefits is eighteen years old provided the eighteen year old has worked long enough to be insured for Social Security disability. Or, an adult child may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits based upon a deceased or living parent s earnings record.
