Can I work while getting Invalidity Pension?

Leaflet Sections

Under the conditions for continued receipt of Invalidity Pension you should not do any work while getting this pension.

However, you may, with prior written permission from us, be exempt from this rule to:

  • do a course of training which may lead to other employment,
    or
  • do work to help your recovery, which will lead you to rejoin the workforce,
    or
  • start light work or training that you would not normally be paid for.

Note:
Your entire Invalidity Pension can be counted as income for tax purposes. Contact your local Tax Office for more information.
