Mortgage support interest migrating to UC

Hi everyone
I’ve been in the ESA support group for quite a few years and receiving Mortgage Interest Support.
I have to migrate to UC by July and have read that there’s no questions asked about mortgage interest support and you have to make a new claim as it’s not automatically transitioned with a UC claim.
Has anyone any experience with this as I don’t want to fall in arrears with my mortgage and have my credit report affected ?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi jan777

Please follow the link for the official advice about claiming SMI ( Support for Mortgage Interest ). Your UC claim will link with the ESA so you will not serve the 9 month wait.

Let us know how you got on.
