I should imagine a large number of complaints about PIP will be down to a total misunderstanding of how the new system operates. Eg Just being unable to bend down as if to use an oven, would've been eligible for lower rate care DLA. Under PIP, it would be just 2 pts towards the required 8pts for PIP standard rate daily living.


A big problem with the assessments is that an ability to do something once, briefly is treated as being able to perform it repeatedly throughout the day. Eg With something like osteoarthritis, you can manage things occasionally, but if you do it too often then the pain, swelling, and difficulties start to kick in a bit later on and last for a prolonged period. The assessment can't measure that.
