The payment amount for the CDB varies from one another for each individual. The maximum you can get between the period of July 2025 and June 2026 is $2,400; the highest you can get in a month is only $200.
The payment of $200 is received by individuals only if their income isn’t above a certain threshold and meets additional requirements. In case of exceeding the income limit, the payment is reduced gradually.
Note that the income threshold for individuals and couples is $23,000 and $32,500, and the first $10,000 and $14,000, respectively, from the working income is totally exempted. The reduction rates are:
- Singles: 20¢ reduction for every $1 above $23,000.
- One-eligible couple: 20¢ reduction for every $1 above $32,500.
- Both-eligible couple: 10¢ reduction for every $1 above $32,500.
Who is eligible for payout?
The payment for the Canada Disability Benefit 2025 for November and December is going to be received by those individuals who are regular beneficiaries and/or recently applied to get the payment under this programme.
If you have recently applied to get the CDB payment, you will get it only if your application is accepted. If it is still under review or they have rejected your application, you aren’t going to get this payment.
In case the Canada Revenue Agency processes your application before the payment date, you will surely receive your payment. To stay updated about your application status, keep checking it by logging into the portal.
