You don't get Housing Benefit to pay your mortgage. HB is to pay rent.
IB/IS should pay the interest on the mortgage but this is only once you've been claiming 6 months. I take it she doesn't have payment protection?0 -
she suffers from lupus and has been off work for a few years so may b her protection is used up she is off old school and not wanting any help but this £50 a week raise frightend her ty for ur reply ill send her to CAB for further advice:)0
