The problem is that many disabled people are on fixed incomes. For example, I 
run out of money long before the month is through. I should still be able to 
get free apps, download apps I already purchased but are not currently on my 
device, and schedule genius bar appointments. Without money, I have no access 
to even change the password on the lock screen because the Apple password is 
essentially broken until their or is money available. Buying a gift card to 
leave money on is essentially the same as requiring a deposit, a bad move on 
Apple's part imo. 
And please don't lecture me on budgeting. I get $700 each month and somehow 
don't qualify for food stamps.
