If one earns $50K per year and is able to save 10% of their income, in 10 years you could build up the necessary capital ( $488K) to generate the equivalent monthly income stream that one disability claimant receives.

You might want to check your math there. Saving 10% of a $50K income for 10 years gives you $50K, assuming no gains on the savings. Accumulating $488K at 5K per year would take close to 100 years.
