For Canadians who rely on the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefit, keeping track of payment dates is a key part of managing monthly finances. If you’re waiting for your next payment, you can breathe easy—it’s just around the corner.
Your next CPP disability benefit will be deposited or mailed on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. Expect some delays due to the Canada Post strike.
This payment is for the month of October, providing crucial financial support as we head into the final stretch of the year.
Understanding Your Payment Amount
While the payment date is the same for everyone, the amount you receive can vary based on your individual contributions to the CPP before your disability. The government adjusts these figures annually to reflect the cost of living.
For 2025, here’s a breakdown of the CPP disability payment amounts:
Maximum CPP Disability Amount (2025): $1,673.24 per month
This is the highest possible payment, designed for individuals who had significant and consistent contributions to the CPP over their working life before becoming disabled.
Average CPP Disability Amount (2025): $1,198.66 per month
This figure represents the average amount received by most CPP disability beneficiaries. It provides a more realistic expectation for what a typical recipient can expect to see in their account.
Your specific amount depends on how much you paid into the CPP and for how long. You can find your exact payment details by logging into your My Service Canada Account (MSCA).
A Quick Look at Other CPP Benefits in 2025
The CPP isn’t just for disability benefits. It’s a comprehensive social insurance program. Here’s a snapshot of the maximum monthly amounts for other key CPP benefits in 2025 for context:
CPP Retirement Pension (at age 65): $1,364.60
CPP Post-Retirement Disability Benefit: $1,064.97
CPP Children’s Benefits (for dependent children of a disabled contributor): $294.12 per child
Seeing these figures side-by-side highlights the critical role the CPP disability benefit plays—it is often the highest payment, acknowledging the greater financial need that can come with a severe and prolonged disability.
What to Do If You Don’t Receive Your Payment
The vast majority of payments are processed smoothly, but if you haven’t received your payment by November 1, 2025, it’s time to take action.
