My ex has recently gotten on SSD for his PTSD from the army, seven years. He has to pay child support of only $166 and wants me to add our child to his disability. However I have had a major wreck and am trying for disability myself. Would our child receive more if I take the small child support checks from his father until I am approved for mine and can add him? If I wait to add him under me will his father still have to pay child support then?

You are going to have to talk to your local Social Security Office about this matter.
You have some major questions - only the SS office can answer these.
Getting disability benefits approved can take a very long time but you should be very careful about adding him to your ex's without advice from someone who knows about this type of situation. I believe the SS office can help you.
If you have a court approved support agreement you may be able to ask about how all of this will/may change this support agreement.
Just make sure you are the one to receive the benefits for your son.
