Sure. It does depend on how we structure such a benefit, but often when the basic income proposals are made, the idea is that we replace existing benefits. The thing about existing benefits is that they are very often based on need. If you are disabled and you need a wheelchair, and you're on social assistance, you can get a wheelchair.
Under some basic income models, where we would replace all existing benefits with one cheque, you'd be stuck trying to buy a wheelchair with a cheque. I don't think that's the good thing to do. I think we need to have benefits that depend on your need and your particular circumstance rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
