They have placed you in the Support Group as you are unable to mobilise 50m or more.
Congratulations on the award.

Thanks Gordon
I thought that was the case but I'm so surprised that I thought I must be reading it wrong...lol
The only downside is that they have only awarded it for 6 months so it won't be long before I'll need to go through it all again.

ESA Decisions do not include an award length or end date, so the six months is not binding on the DWP and they may choose not to review for a longer period, once the DWP implement the Decision you can contact them to see what your reassessment date is.

My esa assessment was in 2013. In the decision paperwork the review was supposed to be in either 2 or 3 years (sorry it's late, I'm tired and up to my eyes with PIP). Anyway, it's 2019, and counting, so take heart, it could be a long 6 months

Well that didn't last long 
I've just had a capability to work questionnaire delivered today.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be another year long struggle

Do you think the fact that I'm now on pip have a carer and a blue badge , I'll have more chance of not having to attend an assessment?
