CPP-D
Introduction
How this benefit helps:
- It can provide you with a small monthly income if you cannot work due to your disability.
- It will automatically convert to a CPP retirement pension when you turn 65.
- You can get an additional benefit for each dependent child under the age of 18.
- If you have a child aged 19 to 25 enrolled in full-time study, they can continue to get disability payments directly.
- While receiving the benefits, you do not make contributions to the Canada Pension Plan.
- CPP-Disability does not look at your total family income for your eligibility amount. It looks at your income and contributions.
