Mortgage help

My Dad will be 65 soon and will be leaving his job but he still has 37000 left on his mortgage, would he get help paying his mortgage or will he have to pay it out of his JSA/pension.

As far as I know SW will only give a hand with interest not capital repayments. What sort of repayments per.months are they and how many years left

He’ll have to pay it himself. No question

Hap is a rental subsidity, My understanding is that while SW may help with interest part of the payment they will not help with the capital part of the repayment. Would your father consider renting a room in the house. The income off this is tax free and could defray the mortgage repayment

He can try SW but it's outside general criteria.
