Do you have any other income?  Are you married?  If you only have SSDI you do not need to file a return unless you have withholding taken out.  And there is no benefit for claiming dependents.  There was a special rule for 2021 where you could get Dependent credits without having any earned income.  But the rules have gone back to the old rules.
