Add Comment Question: I am 68 years old, can I apply for permanent disability Answer: It depends what you are referring to. If you are referring to long term disability you can apply if you have coverage and if your policy provides for benefits beyond age 65 and you have medical proof supporting your disability and corresponding inability to work.
