they are both furloughed from btw, getting half of their original income from furlough
They should be getting at least 80% of their salary each under the govenment's furlough scheme.

My friend is on a Turkish Businessperson visa (no recourse to public funds) and married to his EU wife.
She has to declare both of their furlough money, even though he is NRPF, as she cannot claim as a sinlge person as that would be fraud. With Universal Credit, he NRPF cannot take benefit money through the claim of their partner anymore. For low income benefits, they might have too much income for Universal Credit.

They live in mortgaged house.
They won't be given any money from the UK's welfare state to help with their mortgage payments as the UK has stopped that. For the Support for Motrtgage Interest payments, they both need to have both been out of work for 39 weeks (without any working/income at all as that restarts their 39 weeks clock). Even then, this is only a loan now, with interst and charges added, that has to be paid back when they start working. Have they looked at taking a mortgage payment break? They need to contact their lender about that.
