Redundancy, help with mortgage interest & offset mortgages

I've just been told I'm to be made redundant so need to find out whether or not I'll be entitled to receive help with mortgage interest payments incase I can't find another job in time. I've been working continuously for more than 13 years so assume I'll be entitled to contributions based JSA but am not sure what the rules are regarding help with mortgage interest other than I won't get any help for the first 13 weeks.

I have an offset mortgage, so need to know whether offset savings are regarded the same as normal savings (i.e. prevent you claiming above a certain level) or whether you would receive help with interest on your mortgage balance less any offset savings.
