If you're talking about US Social Security disability benefits, you're allowed to work and still receive benefits. Contact the Social Security Administration for details; ask for publication 05-10095 "Working While Disabled - How We Can Help". After a trial period, your benefits will be reduced, but you'll still come out ahead of what you were getting from benefits alone (the first $85 per month you make doesn't affect your benefits, and after that your benefits are reduced by only fifty cents per dollar you earn).

Other types of disability benefits may have different rules; you should contact whomever is in charge of them and ask.

Yes. Receiving disability means you are receiving money from someone or the govt because you are fully or partially disabled.

Of course if you are asking for yourself or someone you know, a doctor would be the most qualified to answer this.
