I don't think you can collect SSDI outside the USA.

Be sure to confirm if you can live outside your home country while receiving disability

There isn’t a specific visa for SSA disability. There are ones based on age (50+), based on marriage to a Thai citizen, based on education at college or university, based on paying a lot of money for elite visa status, based on working remote, etc. but none based on disability only.
