An individual can receive Social Security (disability benefits) in the U.S. as long as they are working part-time (or not working) and making a certain amount of annual income (unfortunately, I don't know the income limit).

In canada we have the same thing..it's call ODSP in Ontario (my province) it differs from province to province though. You can be working or not working and you have to have sufficient evidence of a disability.
The one in the United States is somewhat different from DWP in the United Kingdom. I believe here in the United States, we call it SSDI.

It is called SDI. State Disability Income. Anyone can get them if they got hurt or got sick outside of the job alike if you broke your leg and can not do any work till it heals then this person collect SDI till get well enough to go back to work. usually they don't pay you till after your not working for more than 3 weeks. It only last one year till your SDI money ran out. Then we have workcomp, only if this person got hurt at the job and they will pay you till u get better and come back to work. Sometime people never go back to their old jobs and will be on workcomp for few years till they got settlement then it is closed.
Hope this help.
Thanks for the replies. In UK we receive the benefits called 'Disability Living Allowance'.
