They've been adopting the American system (of intentional failure) for a bit now, have you seen I, Daniel Blake? Hilarious and sad look at the UK Disability system from great filmmaker and huge antisemite Ken Loach. They actually rejected my severely MR cousin, after two years of waiting, because she told the interviewer (years before the court date) that as a child she once went to a sleepover (in which in reality she didn't stay and just hung out for a few minutes). The appeal was immediately filed and no word on it has arrived in the three years since. They even had an outside hillbilly judge (on video feed) hear all the cases that day to get in as many rejections as humanly possible.
