If it was decided that you have a limited capability for work related activity, then you are placed in the support group.
If it was decided that you do not have limited capability for work related activity, you will be placed in the work related activity group.
Decisions can be appealed but you have one month to do so.
Please check the guides on this site for help.
A phone call to ask if you are in the support group would help as similar wording is confusing.

It cannot hurt to check, but given that you have scored points as opposed to appearing to meet one of the Support Group criteria, I would say you are in the WRAG.

The old walking test is 15 points for walking 50m, which you have scored, the equivalent Support Group criteria is 30m.
