The average monthly disability cheque is estimated to be $1,258 per month. The amount of these benefits is heavily anchored on the average lifetime earnings, not on how severe the individual's disability is or household income. If you have kept your annual SSI statement, you can be able to see the amount you are more likely to receive as injury compensation. The total amount of money a disabled worker can be paid is about 150% to 180% of the worker's total benefits.
