Can you please quote your source for the examples you give, i.e. 'bed-wetters' getting the mobility element of PIP solely for this reason or the purchase of expensive cars using the Motorbility scheme. These examples if true will be extremely rare.

"Half of those who claimed PIP for ADHD, 35 per cent who claimed it for “bedwetting”, 77 per cent suffering from obesity, 66 per cent who claimed it for agoraphobia and 55 per cent who claimed it for Munchausen Syndrome – a psychological condition where someone feigns symptoms of illness to gain sympathy or attention – were all approved."
