At least in the German discussion about this it's generally understood that it'd replace regular unemployment and disability payments, but not abolish things like say money the blind get because braille displays are expensive. Our social systems already work with averages.
That the payment is sufficient is already included in the "B" term, btw. In German terms it's supposed to cover the socio-cultural existence minimum: Enough to live and participate in society.
