For many persons with disabilities, losing eligibility for benefits is not an option. Persons with physical or mental disabilities often rely on public benefits to pay or supplement the cost of attendant care, medical care, wheelchairs, and rehabilitation. Public benefits may also provide for other basics such as food, clothing, and shelter. Historically, families resorted to the very unsatisfactory arrangement of either disinheriting the disabled person or leaving the disabled child´s share to siblings to avoid losing benefits. A much better solution is the special needs trust.
