You would need to petition the court that issued the original order to have the amount of payments reduced. In some jurisdictions this can only be done after a certain period of time has passed. The court can decide to either reduce the amount of the order permanently, reduce it for a specified period, or leave it alone. If the amount of payments is not reduced, whoever is paying your disability payments to you may still withhold a lower amount from your check (there are also laws covering garnishments that specify how much of your income you must be left with) but any shortfall between what the order says you owe and what is actually paid would be considered back child support and eventually you will have to pay it somehow.
