Don't forget that the 'mobilising' descriptor deals with more than just walking, you also have to show that you could not self-propel a wheelchair.

First, if the DWP believe you have directed your GP what to write in the letter, they will disregard it, so this has to be something that your GP writes based on their understanding of how your conditions effect you.
Secondly, your GP needs to go further than just stating you should be in the Support Group, they need to explain why and if possible do so by referencing the relevant ESA descriptor(s), so I would leave them a copy of the descriptors to look over.
I hope this explains it better.
