disability benefit

I was diagnosed with PPMS 10 ago, my walking is very poor and as you all know, fatigue is an issue. I have put in a disability claim and just heard that they are sending a doctor to see me at home. What should I expect? Do I expect to get benefits? What do I tell them?

You should ecpect the Doctor to assess whether you are making a genuine claim! But, seriously, he will just perform a quick check of your capabilities, e.g. muscle strength, mobility aids, etc. DLA is usually provided to people with specific mobility problems. As MS is a rollercoaster of a condition, do relate to the Doctor the problems you experience when you are at your worst.
