This study analyze the needed income for the disabled from the point of view of reduction in income and Additional cost. Usually the income of the disabled is lower than the non-disabled. The income gap is caused by the factors of both disability and non-disability. So, we should separate these two factors to estimate the pure income gap occured by the disability. According to the results of the analysis, the reduction in income by severe disability was 47.1%, additional cost amounted to 2.0%. The reduction in income by mild disability was 28.9%, additional cost were 0.5%. Therefore, when considering the reduction in income and additional cost, we found that the needed income for the disabled should be 91.7%, 91.4% compared with the income of non-disabled. However, in reality, the realized income for the disabled was 42.7%, 61.9% of that of non-disabled. So, we assert that there is a need of income support for the disabled. If the income gap should be supported by only the disability pension then the level of disability pension shall be additionally increased 1.32 times(severe disability), 1.26 times(mild disability).
