Mortgage Interest Run On 


[ch 7: pages 87-88]

Mortgage Interest Run On is extra money towards your housing costs if certain other benefits are stopping because you are:


• returning to work full-time;


• working more hours; or



• earning more money.



You can get this help for four weeks, but only if you have been claiming IS,
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, or Income-related Employment and Support Allowance continuously for at least 26 weeks; you expect the work (or more money) to last for five weeks or more; and you were entitled to help with your housing costs before your work started and you’ll still have these costs when you start work.
