I am only 47 now - I was/am seven years younger than him. Will the case worker at SSDI need to know this and will this be decucted from my SSDI payment?

Thanks to anyone who can help!
I don`t know the answer, my wife works and is ten years younger than me, 46. I was told by SS she cannot collect any of mine if I should die before she is 60. I don`t know if she were to become disabled also. Maybe just hers until then?
