We have seen this happening a lot with PIP over the last year.

Even at what the DWP refer to as a "very slow" walking pace (24m-30m per minute) you have assessed yourself as walking more than 50m, which is over the maximum for an award. The fact that you have mentioned you are in pain is good, but none of the PIP activities are required to be done without pain, so I think it will depend on how you have described your problems in the PIP2.
