Hi tony,

As I understand it help with mortgage interest is only paid for people on Income Support or Income-based Jobseekers Allowance.

Did you have help filling in the DLA forms? Did you appeal the decisions when you were turned down? Perhaps it's worth making a visit to your local Citizens Advice Bureau or other welfare benefits adviser to check that you are getting all the help you are entitled to?
