Yes, contact the DWP office that deals with your ESA claim and ask for a copy of your ESA85 assessment report.
Just be aware that ESA looks at whether you can walk 50m or more so it may not be supportive of your PIP Mobility.

You can try asking for a second MR which includes the ESA information but the DWP have no obligation to carry one out and if they don't then your only option would be an appeal.
