agreed on all points.
This also intersects with an increase in neurodivergent people claiming PIP. Work has become more stressful, less flexible (for the worker), and more constrained by conformity to narrow expectations. It has become especially difficult for neurodivergent people to sustain. While PIP is not an out-of-work benefit, losing earned income is a driver to review other options and can be the nudge needed to make it worth engaging with the assessment process.
Of course, more neurodivergent folk getting PIP is variously interpreted as over-diagnosis, bandwagoning, and a problem to put a stop to.
