Other Payments

You may receive other payments that are related to your disability.

The following payments are not taxable.
  • Benefit payments from a public welfare fund, such as payments due to blindness.
  • Workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury if paid under a workers' compensation act or similar law.
  • Compensatory (but not punitive) damages, for physical injury or physical sickness.
  • Disability benefits under a "no-fault" car insurance policy for loss of income or earning capacity as a result of injuries.
  • Compensation for permanent loss or loss of use of a part or function of your body, or for your permanent disfigurement.

Yes, but they are taxed by a different criteria than normal income.
