The Tax Court of Appeals held that “disability income” is not subject to the tax on Social Security benefits. “Disability income” refers to the income of an individual due to any disability.

If the term is used interchangeably with “Social Security benefits,” the use may have resulted from the common understanding that Social Security benefits are subject to income taxation.
