Many disability insurance policies contain a provision listing the types of benefits that may be used to offset your monthly disability benefits. One such benefit that is used to offset or reduce your monthly disability benefits is workers compensation benefits. For example, if your workers compensation benefit is $1,500 per month and your disability insurance benefit is $2,500 per month, the disability insurance company will reduce or offset your workers compensation benefits from your disability insurance benefits and pay you $1,000 per month. One other notable benefit that is used to offset against your disability benefits is Social Security Disability benefits.
