First, I am not a lawyer. In this instance where someone is applying for assistance and many thousands of dollars may be at stake, I strongly urge you to tell your neighbor she/he needs to contact an attorney who specializes in the type of assistance they are applying for (disability, medicaid, SSI, etc).
Practically, it depends on who is asking the question and for what purpose. Here are some links that show how difficult it is to provide a one-size-fits-all answer:
