Support for Mortgage Interest question

Can anyone tell me why you can claim Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) if you get income-based JSA but not if you claim contributions-based JSA?
Both JSA's pay the same (£60something a week) but contributions-based JSA is for people who have worked continuously for the last two years.
It doesn't seem to make any sense or seem very fair if this is the case?

Have a read through the SMI thread here to see if you can find the answer to your question. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1464495The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
