Bexleyheath representation help URGENT

I'm a 46 year old dyslexic male who was formally on DLA high rate mobility and middle rate care but following an accusation from my ex partner and and investigation along with surveylence my award was taken away and the decline backdated to 2011 resulting in me owing them £22k plus.
My conditions are very complex and 98 - 99% of the time I'm so breathless that I'm housebound and have recently been awarded a carer from the council as I can't even wash myself. However, during the 4 months they followed myself and my wife they have 14 minutes of footage of 3 or 4 occasions when I left the house and went to different shops when I've had a day or few hours where I've felt a little bit better to do so.
The mandatory decision declined and the criminal proceedings they wanted to take against me was dropped and we are now at appeal but I'm scared that being dyslexic I won't be able to fairly represent myself and for the life of me cannot find anyone who can help or represent me in my area and I'm desperate can anyone help me?
Thanks Mark

Hi M,
I am sorry to hear this !
I am afraid that we do not deal with alleged benefit fraud proceedings, so if that is the only reason that you have signed up to B&W, you should contact the office and request your subscription back :
Contact : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
You really need the help of a qualified Welfare Rights Officer/Adviser who has experience of such issues and can view all your paper work and offer face to face advice.
If you had also been facing criminal proceedings as well, you would have been best advised to obtain the services of a Solicitor to work in tandem with The WRO.
It is very difficult now to gain the support of WRO's since the Government withdrew Legal Aid for "benefit" issues.

Good luck !!
