There is plenty of information about home (domiciliary) medical assessments if you use the Search facility.

It's not clear from your post where you are in the appeal process, but it sounds like one of two things have happened.

Either, you are still in the Reconsideration phase, and the DWP have requested a medical, or

The Tribunal panel have ordered a medical, this would be unusual without them seeing you, but may still happen.

I assume that you were placed in the WRAG without a medical, whoever has requested the medical is saying that there is insufficient evidence for them to make a Decision.

The medical will not be significantly different from one held at an ATOS medical centre with the one exception, that the "doctor" will not be using the LiMa software to direct their questioning.

The following FAQ explains what to expect.
