NFL Total & Permanent Disability Benefits

Can't work anymore? That's what T&P is for.

What it is

Who qualifies for NFL T&P disability?

T&P is a monthly benefit from the NFL Player Disability & Neurocognitive Benefit Plan for former players who can no longer work for pay because of injuries or illness, and whose disability is expected to be permanent. Football injuries, other medical conditions, or both can count.

Unlike Line of Duty, T&P is about whether you can hold a job. The Disability Board reviews your medical records and reports from its neutral physicians to decide.

Fewer than 3 credited seasons?

You can still qualify, but you have to apply within 18 months of your release. Don't wait on this one.

Four categories. Big differences.

Your category depends on what caused your disability and when it started. Getting it right can mean thousands more every month.
