    Hello Russnjuju and wecome

    Try putting your details into an online benefit calculator. This will give you an indication of what benefits you can claim

    Are you on any income based benefits? DLA alone doesn't entitle you to help.

    Hi @Russnjuju123

    In order to qualify for some help with your mortgage you need to be in receipt of some form of income-based benefit (income based ESA, income based Jobseekers or Income Support) other than Universal Credit.

    There are waiting times for claiming the Mortgage Interest Payment element after the benefit claim is made, and it only ever goes towards the interest.

    Above are benefit calculators which should be able to calculate whether you would qualify taking into account household income and capital.

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,

    Mary
