Summary
To become your own payee for disability checks, contact the SSA to request a change and provide evidence of your ability to manage benefits. This does not affect your eligibility for benefits. The SSA determines eligibility based on medical evidence and work history. VSED is legal in Kentucky, but informed consent and mental competency are crucial. Legal and medical support is recommended. If lacking support, consider advance directives, legal aid, and support groups.Full Conversation

if i demonstrate that i can take care of myself, will they take away my benefits entirely?
If you demonstrate to the SSA that you can manage your own benefits, it does not mean your benefits will be taken away entirely. It simply means you can become your own payee rather than having someone else manage your benefits. The SSA focuses on your ability to manage the benefits, not whether you still qualify for them.
