It is possible to be sued even if you are disabled and on limited income. However, a plaintiff winning a lawsuit and collecting a judgment award are two entirely different issues. Generally people who have suffered great financial hardships are "judgment proof" when it pertains to lawsuits. Meaning that their income and property are exempt under the laws of their resident state. Income from SSD, SSI and other many other types of disability and pension benefits are not subject to creditor attachment. Likewise, most personal and real property belonging to a debtor can be protected from creditor action. Therefore it is possible for a creditor to sue, but if they believe the debtor to be execution proof, it is unlikely they will risk the added expense.

That decision is up to the credit card company.
