| There are 4 main ways that people who have a learning disability
pay for housing:
Housing Benefit - will pay for the rent in most rented situations
if you receive Income Support or you are on a low income. It will
also pay the rented part of shared ownership.
Income Support Mortgage Interest - will pay interest on a mortgage
up to £100,000 if you come under certain rules when buying
a home - many people with a learning disability do come under these
rules when they buy through shared ownership or outright.
From wages or your own money - if you work, you may have to pay
some or all of your rent and mortgage. It is important to get advice
about your situation.
Social Services or the NHS - will pay for your housing and care
if you are in registered or nursing care.
