My 2 1/2 year old was just approved to get benefits. What can the money be used for? What's the rules concerning this? Like can we buy him a bed, tv etc.. Or does it just have to be food, diapers etc?? Anyone know? Serious answers only please.

You can use the money for anything your child needs. I receive SSI and my child receives RSDI, we use the money for rent , grocerys, beds, furniture that we need. What ever is necessary for living.

It is meant to cover whatever the child needs. You as the parent get to decide the details. Yes you can buy him TVs, bed, or whatever. Good luck and I wish you and your child well.
In response to the previous post. If your income covers the necessities, you can use the childs disability on whatever he wants, or you want to give him. If the money is needed to pay for necessities fine, but generally there is some to spend on wants. I'm telling you this from experience, having received disability benefits from SSI myself. If the Social Security Administration doesn't send you a copy of "FACTS ABOUT SSI BENEFITS" you can pick the pamphlet up at your nearest SSA office.
