I’m pretty sure that in my past life as a welfare rights officer I discovered that time spent on SSP could count towards the waiting time for Support for Mortgage Interest.  Is anybody able to confirm for me whether this is still the case?  Thanks

Sorry, but any suggestion as to where I can find that?  I am working at an outreach location and so can only access information online.
