Hi Pammyd,
No, being awarded PIP does not trigger an ESA review. If you believe your son should be in the Support Group you have several options
If less than 13 months has elapsed since the decision to put him in the WRAG you can still request an MR (unless you have already done so) although you would have to show good cause for the lateness.
If more than 13 months has elapsed and/or you can show that your son's condition has deteriorated you can write to DWP and ask for a 'supersession'. This would trigger a reassessment with an ESA50 to complete and possibly a face2face appointment.
Finally, you can wait until he is reassessed and make your best case in the hope that he will be allocated to the Support Group at that stage.
Before doing anything else I recommend that you have a good look at the Support Group descriptors to see which one/s your son matches.
