I was wondering if a single man with a mortgage with no other income other than IR ESA was entitled to any help wih mortgage payments. He has no dependants and no one lives with him or looks after him. My friend is in this position at the minute and is off work long term.
Thanks for any advice.

No it will be in addition to the ESA, however, they do need to be aware that the scheme is changing next year and will be treated as a loan.
