I am not a lawyer and certainly don't have a lot of experience on this.
The rulings also change 2 years ago may not be relevant today.
The late Cindy Blatchford did series on how guys don't do so well in family court. She did write a piece on a guy that....well he couldn't pay the child support and was dirt poor. He never got a break.
In this case link the father had their s7 reduced. Base child support remained the same. He had a claim for undue hardship:

This will help answer your question on receipts, there are references in that ruling to reducing CS, they were on ODSP: https://www.canlii.org/en/on/oncj/doc/2018/2018oncj921/2018oncj921.html
Child Support is one of those sacred cows, not to be messed with so yeah they are going to want evidence for expenses when undue hardship is being claimed. I mean if you are saying you spend $400/month on rent and $200/month for food they will likely believe you.
Unable to afford living expenses that is a relative term. Having to pay for items in cash and not having receipts, judges do not like people that avoid taxes or don't file their taxes.
Here is a link to the Federal guidelines for undue hardship:

If you are only getting $10K on disability insurance then you fall below the table amount.
If you go through that stuff and find something more definitive than our shoulder shrugs etc. it woudl be good to hear back from you!
