If your disability is work-related, you may be entitled to workers comp benefits that your employer may have purchased. In most states, this is required. You may also be eligible for government benefits that you've paid for with income taxes. If your disability is not work-related, you still may be eligible for government benefits or you may purchased a personal disability insurance policy to pay you benefits.
