Income for incapacity

A disability payment is money received by someone unable to work due to illness, injury, or chronic condition.

These payments typically come from government programs like Social Security or from private insurance policies.

The term covers both short-term benefits during recovery and long-term support for permanent disabilities: She's been living on disability payments since the accident.
