Hi my Sister-in-law has had to give up work, due to illness, she is a single parent, she is in receipt of ESA and is in the support group. her mortgage is £350 pounds a month, which she has just been awarded £63 interest a month for, she only has about 5yrs left hence the balance difference, she has around £287 capital shortfall a month, if that was to continue she would end up being repossessed.
Would the DWP have any objections to my Husband and I paying the capital shortfall? we propose to do it via direct payment into her mortgage account, could this cause her any problems? We really want to help but are concerned it could be classed as income, when it is not, it is just for securing her home.
