Mortgage Rescue Scheme - is anyone currently doing this?

I would love a bit of support from other bods in the same boat.
We have been paying the interest only on our mortgage (okayed by the bank) for the past 6 months and they have agreed to carry on doing this for another 6 months but I can't make the payments any more. The cost of heating our home and the fall out from loosing a benifit means I am now £170 short each month just on our priority debts.... sigh.
We have been so stupid with our money in the past and once my DH lost his job 18 months it has just been a slow depressing downward spiral to this.
I only completed the initial phone conversation to apply yesterday so its very early days for us but I think the mortgage rescue scheme is the only option we have left.
