The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has said that it’s refusing to change its position on a controversial policy. Once again, it’s in relation to Universal Credit.

Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) used to be a welfare entitlement. It covered the interest payments on people’s mortgages, up to £200,000, when they were unable to work. Former chancellor George Osborne announced in 2015 that it was going to be stopped. The DWP ended the benefit on 6 April 2018.
