I can understand why the mobility element would be beneficial for you. Did you score any mobility points?
If you disagree with the decision and feel you fit the descriptions then a mandatory reconsideration (MR) could help.
Here is some information about an MR. I also would recommend asking for a copy of your report if you haven't already as this will allow you to see how you scored and why the assessor didn't give you certain points.
When writing a letter for MR it is important to not say what they have got wrong, but why you meet a specific criteria.
Please do let us know how you get on and if you have anymore questions.

Getting the report will allow you to see how many points your scored and if you feel you should have scored higher on certain elements. Here is the PIP descriptors for reference.
For the mobility component, here are the things that will gain you the award:
Planning and following journeys
Moving around
- Can stand and then move more than 200 metres,
either aided or unaided.
0 points
- Can stand and then move more than 50 metres
but no more than 200 metres, either aided or
unaided
4 points
- Can stand and then move unaided more than 20
metres but no more than 50 metres.
8 points
- Can stand and then move using an aid or
appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50
metres.
10 points
- Can stand and then move more than 1 metre but
no more than 20 metres, either aided or unaided.
12 points
- Cannot, either aided or unaided, –
(i) stand; or
(ii) move more than 1 metre.
12 points
If you receive 8 to 11 points you will get the standard rate. You would need 12 points or more for the enhanced rate.I hope this make sense but please do ask questions if you need anything clarifying.
