What do you mean you answered them wrong? On the PIP2 form you answer the questions by telling them how your conditions affect you. I don't know how you cn answer them wrong.

It all depends on how the claimant interprets the questions.
As an example

How far can you walk - more than 200 metres - Yes
When in fact walking that distance can only be carried out in 10 metres stints before needing to stop because of the pain they are in. But carry on in this fashion trying to ignore the pain until 200 metres have been covered.

The correct answer should have been - less than 20 metres.

The reliability factor is very rarely used by claimants as they simply don't understand it.

In one of my claims I put that I can walk a mile with difficulty.
I failed to tell them on the form that I could only do that distance in 20 metres stints due to pain and breathlessness. The question of mobility didn't arise during the assessment and the report said that I could walk more than 200 metres.
