Some people have to pay federal income taxes on their Social Security benefits. This usually happens only if you have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to your benefits.his usually happens only if you have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to your benefits.
If you can do this then you may find you get the Severe Disability Premium. I was on Incapacity Benefit and claimed Income Support with the Disability Premium, Severe Disability Premium and Enhanced Disability Premium as I have 'severe Mental Issues' (Schizophrenia).gnore ANYONE who says you can only get the Severe Disability Premium if you are 'Physically Disabled' as this is horse crap. People who say this are complete IDIOTS and know nothing of the Benefit System.
Some policies pay out as long as you are disabled until age 65. The average annual premium for a new group long-term disability policy in 2013 was $226 per person, according to Gen Reâs â2013 U.S. Group Disability and Group Term Life Market Survey.â. If you pay your own premiums with after-tax dollars, your disability benefits will be tax-free. If your employer pays for the policy, most likely with pre-tax dollars, youâll have to pay income taxes on the benefits.
