"And the good news is that your spouse's income generally doesn't affect any SSDI benefits you may receive. That's because SSDI is a program to help people who have already paid into the system. This means that your SSDI is based on your prior earnings and not on your spouse's income."
this is not from an authoritative source, though. This is from a law firm that specializes in disability benefits.
