Social security disability

My wife who was basically a stay ay home Mom and then worked after the kids were gone applied for SS disability and her benefit is $220.00 at age 58 now 2 years later minus $65.00 for medicare. Should we drop SS disability and reapply when she is 63 or 65?

Thank you,

Brian
