With DLA it was possible to have a problem in just one area, eg not being able to bend down, but with the point scoring system of PIP you are likely to need problems in several areas in order to qualify.
The emphasis with sickness and disability claims has always been that the claimant has to "prove" their claim. It would be nonsense to simply take their word for things.
