When you are in receipt of disability living allowance or DLA as it is also known you will also be on another state benefit such as income support or invalidity benefit and when you receive the money from the life insurance upon which you are waiting you will need to contact your local benefit section of the dhss to inform them of the extra money which you have received as it is by law that you signed a document when you made your application for the state benefit that you agreed to contact them should your circumstances change as will be the case for you and if the ammount of money which you receive is above a certain ammount then yes it could well affect your ammount of either income support or invalidity benefit but as long as you are still qualified to receive one of these benefits even if the ammount drops drastically as long as you receive something on one of these then your disability living allowance will not be affected and you do not have to imform the DLA benefit office of your windfall unless it affects your eligibility for receiving income support or invalidity benefit in which case you need to notify the DLA section of the dhss that your state benefit has been stopped and then because you are not receiving the same benefits as you were before that will make you also unentitled to receive disability living allowance as one of the criteria for being eligible for dla is that you must be in receipt of one of the other state benefits .

Will moving to another state affect your disability benefits?
Your individual disability insurance policy is portable and benefits will not be affected by moving to a different state. If you have disability insurance through your employer, and move in a new state while working for the same employer, benefits will not be changed. However, if you leave your employer, you may lose the disability insurance benefits through a group DI policy. If you are currently disabled and are receiving disability benefits from the state, you will have to check with the new state regulations on social security DI; If you are receiving benefits through a personal/ individual insurance policy from an insurance company, then benefits are not going to be affected by the state of residence.
Can you collect disability insurance for an ulcer?
This depends on the type of Disability insurance you have and also how bad the ulcer is. Normally, individual and group Disability insurance requires that you be unable to perform the material duties of your current occupation, in order to qualify and receive any benefits. If the ulcer is preventing you from working in your job, then there is a chance you may qualify for benefits. If it does not affect your ability to work, then you should not expect to receive benefits. If you are counting on Social Security Disability, you should not expect to be paid disability benefits. Social Security is significantly more difficult to qualify for. You must essentially be unable to do any form of work, in order to be considered disabled and eligible for benefits.

Health insurance and disability insurance (short or long-term) do not affect eachother. While health insurance pays for medical expenses reimbursement, disability insurance pays to replace your income lost due to healthconditions.
Can you travel while on short term disability?
If you are receiving benefits from Social Security Disability Insurance, your moving will not affect the reception of benefits at all. Make sure to alert your Security office of your change of address so that you continue to receive correspondence from Social Security and your checks as well. If you are receiving benefits from Supplemental Security Insurance, moving could change the amount you receive in benefits, and it can also alter your eligibility to receive benefits at all. Some states add a payment to the federal SSI and detract this payment from your check each month. If you are moving from a state with no supplementary payment to one that does have one, your disability check will be slightly smaller in the new state. Disability benefits are also tied to income, so if your income changes, your disability payment will likely change as well. Call your local security office if you have any questions or concerns regarding your disability payments.
