Chapter 35 Benefit Question

Recently got approved for chapter 35 benefits under my father's 100% disability. I am over 26 but qualify for no time limit on benefits. my father got his benefits at 100% in 2023 (retroactively put as 2021 when he first applied), I applied last month so since I applied so late I dont qualify for retroactive payments (graduated grad school 2 years ago).

im definitely in a tough financial situation so is there anything I can do to take advantage of this benefit without going back to school? I have a company and work full time as an independent contractor for different video production companies. I travel a ton and work 13 hour days so I dont see classes as feasible. easiest way to qualify for these benefits without directly going back to college?
