( this isn't hypothetical, I know it has happened). The system seems to designed to dissuade people from claiming or appealing. Those most in need are most vulnerable to this system, where you need to be 'in the know' as to what scores points. PIP is failure, the Govts aim was to cut costs and they've increased, and those most in need are most at risk of slipping through the net.

Correct, they are not. What they are supposed to do is assess how the disability affects the person in their general day to day life.
