If you are not reporting any income of any kind on a 2017 tax return, then there is no reason to file a tax return.

My family helped support me. No one can claim me as a dependent. I'm waiting for a social security hearing. Also having a total hip replacement in February 2018

How did you support yourself? Can someone else claim you as a dependent?

No.  Without any earned income you are not eligible for any type of tax credit.  And without any wages that had taxes withheld you cannot get any tax refund.
