(a) You are at least 62 years old;
(b) You have enough social security earnings to be fully insured as defined in §§ 404.110 through 404.115; and
(c) You apply; or you are entitled to disability benefits up to the month you attain full retirement age (as defined in § 404.409). When you attain full retirement age, your disability benefits automatically become old-age benefits.
