EITC: Disabled with newborn

I am disabled, receive SSDI and am a recent college grad. The plan was to go back to work doing freelance work from home to supplement my income but 4 months before graduation I discovered I was 10 weeks pregnant. (No lectures on irrisponsibility please. We were more than responsible but we recieved a precious gift). Baby was born Feb. 2013. I graduated Oct. 2012 but the IRS told me that I would still be eligible for EITC with my SSD and no other earned income. I tried filing today and was denied due to no earned income. My SSA earnings were low: $10,044 for myself and $3,348 for baby. I received an extension on paying back my loan so I also made no payment back this year. I filed single, head of household, babies father and I are not married but have been together for 10 years, and he has been out of work all year with health issues. I am not trying to get something for nothing. My income is very low and supporting 3 people and I was really depending on taxes to help me get back to work with supplies and licencing. Is the denial for EITC correct? Also, I did do some freelance work this past year but nothing I took seriously and, honestly, considered it more work for my portfolio; Practice if you will. I was paid cash but did get receipts. I am not registered as self employed, etc. If I can use that income what is a safe amount to avoid paying taxes or losing my SSDI for now? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
