Applying for disability or receiving or not receiving disability, does not determine whether you are permanently disabled. However, if you have a Dr's statement saying that you are permanently and totally disabled, then you would be considered permanently and totally disabled by IRS guidelines.
You are permanently and totally disabled if both 1 and 2 below apply.
You can’t engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition.
A qualified physician determines that the condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can be expected to result in death. See Physician’s Statement, later.
