No, you do not need to include his payments as income to you. He is paying for his own support. If he lives with you and you can prove you have provided more than half of his support you may be able to claim him as a dependent.
You would need to know his total income and that you can prove you paid more than half of his support to claim him. That would include retirement, social security, interest, etc.
Regardless of his dependency status, his payments to you are for his support and need not be claimed as income by you.
