The court was asked whether the appellant who is disabled, has been unlawfully discriminated against by virtue of the fact that the support for mortgage interest (‘SMI’) which she receives as a component of her income support is capped by reference to a loan limit of pounds 100,000, and her circumstances are such that she is not eligible to benefit from the higher limit of pounds 200,000 which was introduced for certain categories of claimant with effect from 5 January 2009.
