How Much Disability Benefits Can I Get? 
How much disability benefits can you get ? Well it 's going to depend on what you may have through your employer and the order the plans are purchased in . Usually an individual disability plan will allow the purchase of up to 70-80 % of your income . If you have an employer sponsored plan in place , the insurance company may limit how much they will sell you to keep coverage in that 70-80 % range . However , you can buy individual coverage first and then if later your employer adds disability coverage as a benefit you can cover 100 % of you income .
