Can you claim spousal support while on CPP disability? If so, do you claim this as income every year on your taxes?

I steer clear of giving any type of tax advice. You certainly could get both CPP disability and spousal support. It would all depend on your overall income levels and circumstances of your family income, etc. CPP disability is considered income so it would factor into any spousal support calculations as far as I know.
