Disability Benefits

​

Disability benefits are a tax-free financial recognition for the impact a service-related injury or disease can have on your life

​

Canada Pension Plan may pay out benefits for children under 25:

 To be eligible, the child must be either:

(1) under age 18, or (2) under age 25 and in full-time attendance at a recognized school or university

The child must also be: (1) the natural child of the contributor, or (2) a child adopted “legally" or "in fact" by the contributor while under the age of 21, or (3) a child "legally" or "in fact" in the custody and control of the contributor while under the age of 21

​

A child may be eligible if the parent or guardian (1) is receiving a CPP disability benefit (either the disability benefit or the post-retirement disability benefit), or (2) has died and met the CPP contributory requirements for a CPP death benefit

 

If the child is age 18 to 25, the child must be attending school full-time at a recognized educational institution in order to receive a children’s benefit.
