12 years ago when the ex lost his job the JSA even refused to sort out the mortgage insurance form for the bank (we had insurance)
Luckily he was only out of work for a short period as my wage couldn't have covered all costs, but I worked over 20 hours a week so f-all benefits were paid, not even JSA for him.
[and yeah the rent thing is strange, I wouldn't expect the state to cover a whole mortgage, but rent money be nice]

When I lost my job a while ago I signed on. I've paid my taxes and NI for years after all.
Can you get money to pay a mortgage? Can you fuck.
You can get rent paid however. Seems an odd state of affairs to me.
