You are mixing two things here. As I understant it, and I may be wrong, if a
person is collecting disability income, whether company funded or
individually, the income is not taxable up until the person reaches
retirement age. At retirement the disability income stops when the
retirement income starts and the retirement income is taxable. The logic is
that if you are retired, you wouldn't be working, disabled or not.
