Due to many illnesses, permanent injuries and such, I am disabled. If you don't know, the money that you get every month from being disabled is about $500, nowhere near enough to pay all the bills, get food, medications, etc. So at 30 years of age I am forced to live with my parents, whom are also disabled and use a lot of their money to help with my medical expenses.
I don't plan to get money to buy stuff, or to just go crazy with. I just want to ease up on my parents' expenses.
Is there anything that someone with no ability to work, both due to physical and mental problems, can do to make money? Also, when disabled, if you make much money they take away your qualification. This would make my medical bills skyrocket, so I'm just looking for maybe $100 extra a month or so, nothing big.
Any ideas?

Is it SSDI you get or SSI or both?
I am on SSDI, when I was in my 20s I had enough work credits to get SSDI but it was about $850 monthly.
I went back off SSDI after college degree and taught 12yrs. My doctor told me go back on disability when I was struggling with staying employed. It was worth more than unemployment and lasts longer plus two yrs later got medicare.
Mine is now $1094 after they take out for medicare. But by going to socialsecuirity.gov I learned I could suppliment with some self employment and then they only count the net income rather than the gross income.
If you work for a company they count gross income from that. You can make $1090 per month I think it is currently then if go over that they consider it trial working month of which you just get few before you move into different category for working. Its explained on SS.gov
