Depending on whether the terms of your benefits contain any limitations you may be able to offset your income from different sources. If you are referring to a government support program, such as the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefit, or the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) or a different provider, contact them for specific questions regarding your coverage.
