Do you have a mortgage broker ?
If not why not speak to the lender and ask them what counts as Income.
I am sure the Army pension you get would however not sure about the children0 -
@sunnyseaside Assuming you have a main employed income, and the army widow pension is for life, there should be some lenders willing to take that at 100% for affordability. The dependents' pension is trickier and will likely hinge on the details.Sunnyseaside said:I recieve an army widow pension also my two children recieve dependents pension.
