If your disability pay is "means-tested" then it is not subject to the child support guidelines (MD Code 12-201(a)(5)). "Means-tested" means that your payments are subject to your available income and/or assets.

Since I don't know exactly what benefit you are receiving, I can't give you a definitive answer, however, "Veterans Disability Compensation" is not means tested, and therefore would be subject to the child support guidelines as "actual income."

Hope this helps.
