Disability Income Insurance pays a monthly benefit if you are unable to work and earn an income due to an illness or injury. There are two types of disability insurance: short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance. Each type of disability income insurance has a waiting period and a benefit period. Waiting period is the amount of time before the policy starts paying benefits (8 days, 15 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days), and the benefit period is the duration of benefits (30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 5 years, to age 65, 70).

Once you reach retirement age, your Social Security Disability benefits convert to regular retirement benefits, payable at the same rate. You cannot collect an additional amount due to disability. It is possible that you could qualify for the SSI supplemental security income, which is based on disability and income, in addition to your month Social Security benefit, but this is a different program and is not administered by the SSA. The amount of SSI paid is adjusted monthly based on what the person was able to earn in that month.
While receiving social security disability benefits, the maximum amount of additional monthly income allowed from working is $900 a month gross.
Yes, the disability insurance payments can be paid on top of any workers comp payments received, if the policy's benefit is not integrated with any supplemental benefits. If your disability insurance policy is integrated with supplemental disability benefits, then the disability payments will be offset dollar for dollar by any mount received from workers comp or social security. That's why when you get a disability insurance policy, it is advised to include all or most of the disability benefit amount as "base benefit" which does not offset by any supplemental benefits received.
