Sorry to hear about your brother Marsh, I hope he has appealed any decision made many PIP rejections are overturned on appeal.
The feeling shown is one that I have picked up on for a bit and tried to ignore, that the onus is moving away from seeing anyone incapable of self supporting instead of being aided is effectively cast off, as well as there being a generalised impression that they are a drain on resources.
