Does Soc Sec disability income count toward calculating if a 30 year old handicapped person earned more than one-half of his support?

For eligibility to claim Earned Income Credit, must my 30 year old handicapped child add his Soc Sec disability benefits to his small w-2 earnings in calculating if he paid for 1/2 of his support?

No, Social Security Disability benefits do not count toward them providing more than one-half of their own support.
