Permanent Disability Question

Hello,

Is dementia considered a permanent disability? She was 59 when she was made to retire, but turned 60 last year. Would I put the whole amount as a situation to lower the tax bill? Also, I see two 1099-R forms. One with distribution code 2 and the other for distribution code 7. I don't see the differences turbo tax. Please advise.

Thank you
