Curious to know if anyone has any insight as to whether or not pension income splitting will affect CPP disability payments.

My husband receives a pension and I was approved for CPP disability this year (no other income). If we pension split on our taxes for 2020 will that impact my CPP-D?

Tried to get through to CRA to ask but I was on hold for 2 hours and gave up.

Thanks!

I have no idea.  
You’re not “retiring” and it is not employment income.  
I would guess no but I would ask a lawyer.  
@David_Brannen ?

The answer is definitely “No”, pension-splitting on your income tax form will NOT affect your CPP-D at all.
