    Do you pay your mortgage or does the state? In other posts you talk about claiming 'housing benefit'.

    If your only income is from JSA it is unlikely you will satisfy the income requirement for supporting your relative.

    (Edit - shared ownership. You will not be able to support a third person if having to pay your mortgage from your JSA.)
