Disability is something you get from Social Security. You have to have a permanent/ semi-permanent mental or physical disability that prevents you from working. You just walk into the Social Security office and apply. Then, they send you to a Doctor Who will examine you. If the doctor finds that you have a disability, then you will get a check each month. The whole process takes a few months. They review your case every couple of years.

Workmen's comp, or workers' compensation, is a type of insurance that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, covering medical expenses and lost wages. Disability benefits, on the other hand, are provided to individuals who are unable to work due to a disability, regardless of whether it is work-related. Disability benefits may be provided through government programs or private insurance and can cover a wider range of disabilities and medical conditions.
