SMI Mortgage payments

SMI Mortgage payments was created by learntorun
I wonder if you are able to advise. We currently have some of our interest only mortgage paid for by DWP (smi). We have had 4 mortgage interest increases in the past 4 months and another is due in August. The amount DWP pays towards our mortgage now does not go anywhere near in helping and there is a shortfall each month of about £300. Do you know if the DWP will help claimants with the increases as we do not know who to contact.

Kind regards
Spitfire

Hi learntorun

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum

Your question is outside the remit of the forum, I am not aware of any help to those with SMI mortgage payments, you may want to contact Shelter who may be able to give you further advice, Shelters contact number is; 0808 800 4444.

I'm afraid the DWP pay at a standard rate, they won't deal with individual interest rates.
