There appears to be discrepancy in the law and its interpretation.
The law talks about exceptional circumstances in the context of Limited Capability for Work (e.g. the WRAG), however, the ESA Handbook which is used by ATOS medical staff, discusses it in the context of Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (e.g. the Support Group).
Whichever, way it is viewed, exceptional circumstances, are not easy to prove.
