Dependent daughter receiving benefit based on disability
You will want to verify directly with the SSA for this. However, assuming you're receiving "standard" disability benefits (not SSI), I do not believe the child's benefit would be impacted by this.
However, if you're receiving SSI, the new income imputed to your ex-wife may affect your benefit.
Also, to be on the safe side, you'll want to ensure you provide more than half the support for the child to ensure the child is your dependent -- not your ex-wife's dependent.

"Pass through" disability benefits for a grandchild
Please contact Social Security directly for your case, but this may be possible. However, it appears that you (not the parent) must provide more than half of the grandchild's support.
