A disabled individual of working age doesn’t receive this and has to live on much less. Equally someone just over state pension age no longer qualifies for the mobility element of PIP. So you could have two individuals born on the exact same day, with the exact same medical conditions affecting their day to day lives to the exact same extent and one would retain PIP for life and the other never qualify based on the onset date of their condition.
