    Payments are very low with option of Payment holidays due to overpayment build up.

    Is this relevant? Thanks.


    To be fair I suspect the poster was asking if you were receiving Support for Mortgage Interest at the moment which might make an HB claim complicated.

    Thanks, no but I would have assumed once I moved out and made a joint claim, any claims i had would be canceled.

    If the property is up for sale the equity can be ignored for a period of 26 weeks

    Or longer if reasonable...
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.
