permanent and total disabled are considered qualifying children regardless of age so as long as they did NOT provide more than half their own support and that's vague when the child lives in the parents home.. My mother claims my sister and my sister has a trust with unearned income, she lives in my mothers home and does not pay rent, so regardless of her income, my sister does NOT provide over half of her own support even with SSD she receives. My mother benefits as HOH. She has claimed my sister who is 53 years old. Her unearned income has reached in some years due to the trust from $20k-$120k and still my mom claims her as again there is no rent.  My sister uses her money for personal purposes and savings as some day my mom won't be there and my sister will have to live off the trust and her savings.
