Because of the U in UBI. Conventional benefits pay for proof of need, they reward incapability. A terrible incentive.

- speedplane 9y agoBut universal benefits pay everyone, which remove all incentives.
- usrusr 9y agoThe U removes the incentive to seem/feel incapable. Positive incentives stay, except maybe working to not starve, but that one is already eradicated with conventional benefits. I haven't seen anyone advocate a "exclusive universal basic income", where other forms would not exist.
