The Disability Benefit is available to CPP contributors who are under the
age of 65, and have a "severe and prolonged" mental or physical
disability, which makes them unable to work at any job on a regular basis. A monthly benefit may also be available to
their dependent
children.
You can estimate the Disability Benefit available to you by referring to your Statement
of Contributions, which is accessible online via Service Canada. You
can also request that the statement be mailed to you. See also the
information on the Child Rearing Drop-out Provision, which
could help you meet the contributory requirements for a disability pension.
Your CPP disability benefit will automatically be
changed to a CPP retirement pension when you turn 65. You cannot receive both a CPP retirement pension and a CPP disability benefit
at the same time. If you are under 65, have been
receiving a CPP retirement pension for less than 15 months, and you are
eligible for the disability benefit, you can request to have your retirement
pension replaced by a disability benefit. See the Service Canada Disability
Benefit page for more information.
