You wouldn't be paying tax on five hours a week unless you were earning a substantial amount per hour

It is unlikely you would have been sent to prison given your listed health conditions.

So who is trying to take your house, and why?

Are you still on benefits?

How much was this fraud for?

Maybe the OP is bored of doing his homework.

Unsure what year you were working but you would have to be earning over £22 per hour to attract minimal NI... If they are taking your house under proceeds of crime act then you must have been earning substantially more. Also if you own ur house there would be no housing benefit. If this is genuine perhaps you could tell is more about the types of benefits you claimed and over what period?
When I worked in recruitment the only guy I knew who got sent to prison for benefit fraud got done for £80'000!!!! he laughed and told me he snapped their hand off at that as he knew he had claimed more!!!!

I tried and failed, maybe I'm not as fit as I thought. I'll practice

Maybe it was selling narcotics for 5 hours a week,that would yield a very high hourly rate and the need for the courts to take the home,just a thought
