Surely the DWP is placing individuals under duress in this regard, given an individual is 'invited' to claim for PIP, but will effectively be subject to a punishment if they don't take up the offer.
Is it possible (over the phone at PIP 'invitation' acceptance) to record that a claim for PIP is being made under duress (given the above scenario) - and would that provide a potentially valid legal marker in time, to which an individual could return back to later if need be.

I'm afraid I don't think you can claim duress.
There is no opportunity for you to record that you claim is "under duress".

I'm sure I've come across some quite detailed information on it, in the actual legislation, previously, but have not been able to locate again.
It's on the link I previously posted.

Invitations are covered under the Transitional Regs, link previously provided.
Return of the Claim form is under the PIP Regs.
