Its because the State or any organization doesnt look at the disability, they look at the income. At first they see there is a disability or an issue and that qualifies you to apply but then they check the income which will determine whether you get benefits and how much you get.
There are many in your boat. It seems that people dont make enough to cover the medical costs etc but make just a little too much to qualify for help.
You might want to check around with different organizations to help (Lions club for instance or organizations that are related to the disability. Bring with you a paper from a Dr stating that your son needs round the clock care and/or bring him with you when applying along with any incured bills.
Hope it works out for you...
