Claim mother on SS disability as dependent?

Hello,

 

can I claim my mother who is receiving SS disability as a dependent? I pay more than 1/2 her expenses (taking care of her rent) and the ss disability check is the only thing she’s receiving. If i claim her as a dependent how will this affect the amount of disability she receives (less or more for 2021)? Is the tax credit for dependents other than children only $500?
