Paying out 77% of benefits is not the same as running out of funds. You are still guaranteed payments while anyone in this country is making income.

Try paying only 77% of your mortgage and let me know if the bank thinks that you're not in default.
Again, social security is not a mortgage and is not even remotely comparable to one.
You're right, mortgages are consensual.
