I didn't have time to find the info before that topic was deleted. But ignoring that Ico shouldn't even be receiving disability by his own admission of being able to work, his parents are in their 50's and too young for him to receive social security through them, which means he gets SSI. Under SSI rules:
If you receive SSI benefits and someone provides you with shelter and/or food that you don’t pay for, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will reduce your monthly SSI payment to account for this in-kind support and maintenance, according to specific ISM rules. “Shelter” includes things like rent/mortgage payments, property taxes, and utility bills, but doesn’t include phone and cable bills, or any medical costs. Other types of in-kind income, such as goods given as gifts to you, are simply valued at their current market value and subtracted from your SSI payment like other income.
He's admitted he doesn't pay for his cost of living.
omg yay someone who actually knows how means-tested assistance programs work ---
