Make a claim on the accident/illness insurance he would have taken out to prevent his family from suffering hardship in such an instance.
There is support available for some homeowners for the interest part of their mortgages which kicks in after 13 weeks, plus a few schemes run by the govt to prevent repossessions. The Shelter website has information to struggling homeowners.0 -
Was he previously employed? He might have enough contributions in the required qualifying years. Always worth an ask, nothing to lose.0
