Mortgage Holiday conditions

Please can you inform me if:--

The Halifax plc can alter the conditions of my original mortgage offer of 2009
I took out a mortgage in 2009 and on the documentation of " Information about your Mortgage " and Mortgage Conditions it says that a payment holiday is available up to 6 months if account not more than one month in arrears. The account is not in arrears. It states that a mortgage holiday is available if the mortgage is not more than 97% of property value.
The mortgage of £227,624 is 90.25% of valuation of property £252,500.
Halifax now say that they have changed their conditions and I am not allowed a mortgage holiday.
Can the Halifax change the condition of a mortgage without infoming me?
Can the Halifax change conditions of original mortgage offer? Is this a breach of contract?
I would appreciate if you could inform me of the law.
Thank you

    A contractual event they cant but a non contractual option they can. Payment holidays are non contractual events. Its a feature that is not guaranteed.
