Deductions & credits

I am in a similar situation. I have a disabled 20 year old. She has epilepsy and has never had a job, lives at home and we support her completely. Is it as simple as marking disabled in the app doing it, or is there some sort of required status that she needs to have. For instance, do we need to have her legally made disabled in a court? Does she need to be on social security? I have FMLA paperwork filled out every year with her doctors. We have some stuff filled out for them for getting her disability and social security but have never actually completed it. It would be great to get the other deduction but I am very scared to mark it and move on. The last thing I need is the government coming after me.
