Disability pension

Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIS : Disability pension

Disability pension is a form of pension given to those people who are permanently or temporarily unable to work due to a disability. An example of a disability pension is the Canada Pension Plan. Another example is supplemental Security Income (SSI) in the United States.

In Australia, people on disability pension receive more money than someone would get on any kind of unemployment benefits, unless they had children or were aboriginal (or both).
