Resumo: This article develops the idea that the Organic Law for Social Assistance (LOAS) institutes the social minimum and establishes a survival level as the standard for providing social assistance. The definitions established by LOAS are unconstitutional, because the Brazilian Constitution determines that social assistance will be provided to whoever needs it. To defend this thesis, the article is organized in two parts. The first analyzes the concept of deficiency that the International Convention about the Rights of People with Disabilities incorporated to the Federal Constitution, and its impact on the LOAS in the determination of benefits to be provided to the disabled, according to the understanding imposed by the social minimums.
