    The IRS defines permanent and total disability in this IRS publication.

     

    What Is Permanent and Total Disability?

     

    "A person is permanently and totally disabled if both 1 and 2 below apply.

    1. He or she can't engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition.

    2. 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."
