Disability compensation is a financial benefit provided to individuals who are unable to work due to a disability. This compensation helps cover living expenses and medical costs, ensuring that those affected can maintain a basic standard of living. It is often available through government programs, such as the Social Security Administration in the United States, or through private insurance policies. Eligibility for disability compensation typically requires proof of the disability and its impact on the individual's ability to work. The application process can vary, but it generally involves submitting medical records and other documentation to support the claim.
