Receiving SS benefits does not by itself preclude claiming your parent as a dependent. But you still have to meet all of the other qualifications for claiming a dependent.
SS benefits do not count toward the gross income limit for a qualifying relative if they are not taxable on the dependent's tax return. But if the parent spends the SS benefits on their own support, they count as money the parent spends on their own support. (You have to provide more than half the parent's support.)
To see the other requirements for claiming a dependent, see page 11 of Publication 501:

One parent will be designated the "representative payee" for the child's benefits. Usually the parent who filed the retirement or disability claim will fill out a form accepting responsibility for handling the benefits, if that parent is considered competent to manage his or her own money and hasn't committed a felony in the past. If the child receives a lump sum settlement for back pay, the representative payee is required to set up a separate savings account, showing the child as the owner, to protect the child's benefits.
