If I’m not mistaken the current TA proposal allows you to accept those funds in addition to the benefit.
I’ve been out on disability for some time now. You can work any job you want (as long as it isn’t for United) and it doesn’t reduce the $8,000/month. I do believe SS disability will reduce it, but I’m only disabled in the sense that I can’t hold a first class medical (due to a waiting period) so I haven’t applied for SS disability.
