To be honest a week is really at the short end of the time it takes for a Decision to be made, it can take longer than this just for your file to make it back the right DWP office from ATOS, that said there is no harm in you phoning the DWP for an update on Monday.

Hi guy's. Got a letter on Saturday to say I had been put in contribution based Support Group on the same money that I was on incapacity, Rang the DWP to ask for my medical report and how long I had been put in the support group, they told me 6 months, can I appeal against this time ?

I am afraid not, the re-assessment date is not part of the Decision and therefore cannot be appealed.
You might want to request your ESA85 if you had an assessment, or the ESA85A if you did not, the prognosis is usually used to set the re-assessment date. Whilst it is not impossible for there to be a re-assessment period of six months for someone in the Support Group, it is unusual for such a short period to be used, so it is worth confirming the information.
Congratulations on the award,
Gordon
