The average for October, 2012 was $1,111.09.

Payments are based on the disabled individual's work history (in essence, how much they've paid into the social security system). The disability benefit is based on the benefit at full retirement age regardless of the age of the disabled person. While a 35-year-old person declared disabled will receive Social Security payments as if they had reached full retirement age (66), they have not paid into the system as long, so the actual payment will be lower than if they had worked their entire life with periodic increase in salary.

The younger the person is, the less they have paid into the system, thus, the less they receive in disability payments.
