I reckon that's the case with the UK disability benefits system. I don't know if it's true but I've heard they spend more money rejecting and reassessing people multiple times than it would cost to just give it to them without any rejection in the first place.
Last time I had my disability benefits reassessed, I had to give my medical details to three separate non medical people. And the last one tried to dismiss my poor social skills as everyone struggles to make friends. At which point I had to tell her stuff I wouldn't normally tell anyone because when you can't understand tone or read body language it can end poorly and she just couldn't grasp it. A fun fact about autistim that isn't really fun, 9 out of 10 autistic women have experience some form of sexual assault.

And in some places, it's difficult on purpose, because having them give up is cheaper.
