It is my understanding that Social Security Disability is base don your work history and your disability and that it does not require income or asset limits in order to become eligible. You can inherit money and still be eligible as long as you continue to be disabled. If you are receiving other benefits, like SSI or Medicaid, that are based on your income or assets, you could loose those benefits.
