To answer your question, our ESA Appeal guide explains how to lodge an appeal. See

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa

As you have only included one date in your post it is difficult to understand what has happened and when :)

You say you had a phone call from the DWP, the person asked you some questions and then stated you were in the Support Group, when was this and had you previously challenged your placement in the WRAG?

You might also want to have a look at the following.

Is there any risk to challenging a decision?

How long do I have to appeal?

How to submit an appeal

ESA medical – what forms to ask for?

It seems to me that Cathy had a WFI carried out over the phone and was told that she would not be phoned again. Cathy thought that this mean that she had been moved into the Support Group. Is this correct?

Good catch :) Despite reading the post several times I missed that.
