Can you get a mortgage based on carers allowance being your earnings?

Question

I cannot work because I have a disabled child, I receive a carers allowance and disability benefits,can you apply for a mortgage using these benefits.

Answer 1

Yes, you can.  We include all forms of (legal) income when taking loan application. If your credit is acceptable, then this income may qualify you for a loan.  You still need to meet the criteria of debt to income, etc.
