remortgaging multiples for benefits?

İ have a private pension for life time , and claim incapacity benefit and disability benefit on a long term basis and i am thinking whether i can still get any sort of multiples for a new mortgage deal?
My ltv is 32 and to get my 'desired' mortgage i would need about 3.5 my benefit and pension combined -i have savings but want to keep them for a rainy day- any advice?
mfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.

    I would have thought so, although only specific lenders would consider you.

    My advice would be to go and see a good, whole of market mortgage broker. This would be best use of your time as they would be able to discuss your personal requirements and advise accordingly.

    Different lenders have different criteria, but having an LTV of 32% goes in your favour when trying to get the income multiples needed.

    Benefits are treated differently by each lender, so rather than applying direct, and possibly going the the lenders that will not be able to help, I'd agree with the above advice of getting a whole of market adviser to look at this for you.

    What does you existing mortgage revert to at the end of the current deal ?
    It must do something IE tracker or SVR
    Read the paperwork that came with your mortgage or ringing the mortgage centre and ask them !
    GOOD LUCK
