Whaaaaaa?

Ok, OLD post, but there is SO much misinformation here!

YES, you CAN be living with other wealthier family members and be approved for disability! (I was living with my parents when I was approved, and they had a decent income at the time.) Disability is about YOU and what YOU are capable of.

If you're a single adult, then they only look at you and you alone. There is no provision in SSDI that says if you're lucky enough to have a family member take you in and provide for you, then you're SOL, too bad, you paid into it but since someone else is footing the bill, you don't qualify!

When it comes to state benefits like food stamps, then yes, they look at WHOLE household size....but that doesn't mean you can't live with someone. My official household size is ONE yet I live with two other people. I have to sign statements that say I purchase and prepare my own food. (I do pay rent, so its more of a tenant/lessee situation.)
