By claiming your son as a dependent, you will be reduce the amount of money that gets taxed on your return by $4,050 (2016). He doesn't need to live with you to claim him as a dependent. His SSDI shouldn't be affected by you claiming him.
In the future, do not list the dependent's Social Security disability as income anywhere on your tax return. You do not receive the benefits; the dependent does.
