In all honesty, no. I did not consider the latter. It's a good point, and my previous comment was only intended to point out that there are provisions for those who work within the system.

However, I often forget that the system does not apply its benefits equally. In an ideal situation, you should be able to disclose a disability to a government with the knowledge and assuredness that leads to support. But yes, more often than not it leads to discrimination and denial of services instead.
