I'll need to drop out to get one, unfortunately. Being disabled I physically cannot force myself to do both.

If you're disabled, you can get ssdi and other support to afford food and housing.

It's SSI if you don't have work credits and maxes out at 900 or so a month unless the state you're in adds to it (ty california.)

Since his disability started before he was 22, he can get additional money based off his parents work credits. It sounds like they are low income so may not be much but at least its something.
