Weird that you got downvotes by saying what's widely know in the field of UBI. Almost any UBI proposal includes the slash of all other programs.
The main strenght of the UBI is that it simplifies the bureaucracy: in theory, you just give everyone an income that should cover health insurance, education when needed, food, housing... so if anyone prefers to spend the money on drugs and hookers is up to him: the society already provided with everything he needed. The key is that you can live with the UBI, and if you want recreational drugs you have to find a job for the extra money or sacrifice some of the basics.
UBI + lots of other welfare programs makes little sense.
