Here's the problem, being unable to go out is not a Support Group Descriptor so your current SG award is not a result of this problem. Do you know how you currently qualified?

hi gordon, I was put in the support group 5 years ago after multiple admissions to a mental health hospital for depression. I also gave them a letter from my psychiatrist stating I have severe and recurring depression. I'musta thinking the way to proceed is a Sar to find out. My worry is though will doing so possibly trigger a f2f. kind regards

No it won't, they are not handled by the same staff that deal with your benefits on a daily basis.
