Homeowners who are claiming certain benefits from the government may also be able to claim for help on the interest payments of their mortgage. The name for these benefits varies depending on your area or local council. Programs called “help with housing costs” or “Income Support Mortgage Interest” or similar names refer to the same programs. It is important to note that ISMI benefits will not help you pay the mortgage or loans you have, just the interest on them. The rate used to calculate the benefits for ISMI is based on the Bank of England’s average mortgage rate.
