Mortgage interest relief

Mydaughter and her partner have a joint mortgage. Her partner was self employedfor 6 months in 2012 , he was previously a PAYE worker. He has been refused both Jobseekers benefit and allowance. My daughter is paying the mortgage with great difficulty. She wants to know what change if any is there in the mortgage interest relief they have been allowed on the mortgage. Can any of the tax allowances her partner was getting be transferred to her? Any advice would be appreciated.

No. They would have to be married to transfer credits.

Mortage interest relief has nothing got to to with employment. Most peolpe who have a mortage are entitled to it regardless whether they are employed or not.
