In 2008 I got swine flu, it left me with many disabilities and illnesses. I fought to keep working, In 2014 I was sacked by an employer for not being able to call in sick after being taken into hospital after I was forced to do a zero hour contract job until I got the job where I now work. I was forced to cut a five day week down to three. I applied for ESA and expected to not get it, but I did. I provided everything the DWP wanted and for 18 months received the important top up of money. In August 2019 it was suspended and no matter what I tried no one would tell me what I'd done wrong. In October I received a letter saying that I was required to attend an interview under caution.

No one will tell me what I've done, they have told me that I am not allowed to have my carer in with me, no solicitors will help me. The person from the DWP, who is always nasty on the phone with me said she will only respond to a solicitors letter. I'm quickly becoming in financial difficulties and in serious debt unable to make payments only able to pay rent and basic bills, losing this money is driving me to the edge.

Where can I get a solicitor who might help me?

What would a basic letter asking what I've done wrong cost me?

Where can I go for help, I've been to the CAB?

My mental health is suffering and so are my disabilities. I'm suffering from major flare-ups. Please help, someone because I am at an end and afraid of what I might do.

I live alone and since becoming disabled have lost all my friends and family.

Please help.
