Possibly. You can collect Social Security disability benefits under a parent's earnings record if you are determined to be disabled before age 22, even if you have never worked.
At 18, you are no longer eligible to receive dependent benefits unless you are still in high school, in which case you would be able to receive payments through the end of the school year or until two months after your 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. You may also be entitled to back benefits if you qualified to collect payments while living with your disabled parent, but never applied.
If you are disabled and have little or no income and few assets, you may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and other forms of federal and state aid, however.
Since your question is lacking a few important details, it would be a good idea to call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or visit the local field office and explain your situation to a representative. If you do qualify for benefits (either monthly or a lump sum back payment), the sooner you act the better.

Can your mother who has never worked collect social security?
No. There really is no such thing as "unused" benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.

Can a person who is 25 percent disabled but is working collect Social Security disability benefits?
No. The Social Security Administration only pays disability benefits if they determine you have a qualifying condition, are completely disabled, and are expected to remain disabled for at least one year. If you are capable of working or engaging in "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) regardless of whether you receive income for your efforts, you will not be approved for SSDI benefits. In addition, you -- or, under certain circumstances, a parent or spouse -- have to have made sufficient quarterly contributions to the Social Security fund before you become eligible to Social Security benefits. Some government programs, such as those for disabled military veterans, may pay a monthly stipend if you are partially disabled or have a non-disabling condition that has been linked to your military service (for example, Vietnam Veterans who have diabetes and were potentially exposed to Agent Orange automatically qualify for partial disability).
