I know a few people who were married, then got divorced and are still living in their house and paying their mortgage off. They are claiming benefits as they are working part time to keep their hours under whatever it has to be. Without the benefits being paid to them they would not be able to pay the mortgage still and would have to sell the house and move elsewhere. Ok they would end up in rented paid by some other benefit but as it stands they are able to pay off their mortgage because of working family tax credits or whatever. That house is increasing in value being paid for by benefits.

Does that make sense, I think I confused myself?
