From what you have posted, you have requested a supersession (re-assessment) of your claim on the basis of a deteriorated condition.
To be successful, you are going to need to show that you meet the Support Group criteria.
You mention two ESA Descriptors, the SG requirements are
1. Mobilising unaided by another person with or without a walking stick, manual wheelchair or other aid if such aid is normally, or could reasonably be, worn or used.
Cannot either:
(i) mobilise more than 50 metres on level ground without stopping in order to avoid significant discomfort or exhaustion, or
(ii) repeatedly mobilise 50 metres within a reasonable timescale because of significant discomfort or exhaustion.
and
2. Transferring from one seated position to another.
Cannot move between one seated position and another seated position located next to one another without receiving physical assistance from another person.
These and the other SG Descriptors are described in more detail in our ESA Claim guides
