SSI is an entitlement for the poor. Your spouse's income disqualifies you--just like you wouldn't qualify for food stamps.
I don't know what your brother's situation is or what benefit he is receiving.
It is possible to qualify for SSDI before age 22 on a parent's work record. It also takes fewer work credits to qualify for SSDI when someone becomes disabled on their own work record when they're very young.
