if an individual (35) receives SSI (for severe general & social anxiety, as well as severe depression) & lives alone in his own home, but needs to stay with his mother (who suffers from many different physical disabilities & was also diagnosed with schizophrenia about 20 years ago & can't drive to get food, pay pills or appointments), will that person have their SSI check affected?

he pays for all of his own bills (for his own home utilities & all food), as well as his portion of electricity & internet, while at his mother's house.

would there be some type of form that would need to be accepted by SSI, showing that he helps take care of his mother & would there be any deductions to his SSI, regarding these living situations?

his brother (33) is abusive, mostly mentally/emotionally but has been physically abusive towards his mother, has no income & pays for nothing (ie; lives totally off my mom), which is another reason why individual #1 (35, oldest son on SSI) needs to be with mom, in case brother tries to hurt her, etc.

he has never had a job or brought income in. he demands her to do everything, uses her money & food stamps, refuses to make his own meals, has her go with him to appointments, has her do all the calling. i can go on & on.

he has a severe anger problem, is 6'1, 265lbs. our mother is 4'10 with multiple physical disabilities & basically lives off pain medication & junk food (because he eats steak, burgers & big salads using her money & food stamps).

he takes her phone from her (which is about all she has to look forward to using).

he brings no income in, refuses to look for a job.

she has told me multiple times, when i've told her to call the police or kick him out, she says "do you know what he would do to me if he ever got out? he'd k*ll me"

i've tried staying there to watch over things, but its gotten to the point where i can no longer do so, because he sleeps all day, while i would try to work out, come home from work, take our mom out shopping/groceries, etc. & gets up in a rage saying " i can't sleep, he's making too much noise"... even though he's in bed 12-14 hrs a day & sleeps while the suns up, while everyone else around him is up actually working & living.

she has called the police twice, hung up & then called back to keep them from coming out, in order to prevent my brother & i from fighting (when i've called him out for his ways or tried to stand up for mom), which i always leave before the police can arrive.

when i leave, he has her WALK ACROSS TOWN to get groceries & carry them back all by herself while he stays home & sleeps. neither of them drive.

my mom has enabled him his entire life, but she is the only mom i'll ever have & our dad passed in 2020. i don't want these last years of hers to be wasted away as a slave to my bum brother, who i fear may hurt her one of these days.

i don't know who to contact or let know about the situation. things have to change one way or the other.
