    That’s messed up. Place I am you actually get extra benefits if you have a disabled person as a dependent.

    Or you’re supposed to, anyway, the paperwork sucks and there is a lot of malicious compliance from conservative authorities involved, but still.

    There may be some areas where aid is tallied based on family income, but I don’t know of any off the top of my head. That’s more of a school grant thing, if anything.
