8k would mean that it would be very difficult for them to ever have a significant vacation (e.g. seeing another country). Depending on what counts as an asset, I could see most serious hobbyists having more than $8K in various tools and equipment. Basically, it seems to me that an $8K limit on assets could effectively mean that people on disability are not allowed to have a life.
