If it's means tested then it's not UBI. Sickness/disability might indeed be a problem, but it's better to address that specific problem, eg. with health care subsidies, rather than reintroducing means testing. Means testing has three major problems:
1. Incentive to game the system.
2. Social stigma to receiving benefits.
3. High administration cost.
UBI is the only welfare system that eliminates all three.
