If you are in the US, then yes but he would need to apply, qualify and be living at a residence other than yours. SSI is not much for a single person. I only get $780 per month. It's hardly enough to get by on. Also, don't expect to have him approved on the first try applying. It took me over a year and 3 rejections to get on it

Yea you can try to persuade Soc Sec to give it you, but it wont be much to live on. I think you should get him help. Social Phobia can be overcome, some things cant be overcome but Sa can. Even after you get the SS money try to strive him to move along because it may not be a long term answer.

what dissability does he have? if its SAD, its rare for people with SAD to recieve dissability support in my country atleast, i think you could eventually get it if you applied many times and were backed up by psychiatrists written statements saying why it would be difficult for them to find work etc, but yea it aint easy. They receive a little more then normal unemployment social security but it still isn't much.

^ I have to disagree with skins. When I was at the relevant government agency last Friday I was asked whether I wanted to apply for the disability support pension (I don't). That is no indication of how difficult it may be to get the claim accepted, but they do regard it is a valid disability. It is not a lot more than the dole, but it is higher, presumably acknowledging that someone on disability support encounters greater difficulty.

ok, i was unaware they considered it a legit dissability...thats encouraging then, i thought they wouldn't have seen it as legitimate reason not to work. I i guess i could claim it if thats the case, but its still a lot of mucking around.

As I see the rules, they're all subjective
Cuts are paramount to government
The basics: to be eligible, you need at least one limb missing, unable to walk, get out of bed or go to bed, get into the bath or shower and out again, be blind, or deaf. Dead status doesn't make you eligible. A bit silly doesn't suffice for the rules.
I know people with mild disabilities, such as a bit of pain, who have lived on this income all their lives. Recently that's beep stopped for one of them
I see a mortgage as a magic dream of simpletons that will always be perfect. Nothing will ever go wrong. You'll always be very happy, if you do nothing. Never worry
I think it's important to explore and look deeply into details and get what you want. Never give up

^^this is true, recently an elderly friend of mine got turned down for a dissability pension despite having chronic mobility issues all because they failed to turn up to the assessment in a wheel chair. A short walk from the carpark to the office deemed them fit to work in the eyes of the dept. They're getting tougher and tougher.
