Compulsory purchases are not the same as charging orders. To get the money they would have to go BACK to court to force the sale and would have to have a valid reason for the judge to grant the order for forced sale. The fact your dad is in receipt of SMI which is being paid towards the mortgage interest does hold things up somewhat.
Charging orders are somewhat convoluted when there is more than one person with an interest in the property which is why you need a specialist conveyancing solicitor to sell/purchase any property with a charging order restriction.
You can check details of any charging order on line with the Land Registry at a cost of between £4 & £8 (depending on the transaction). May well be worth checking this for yourself to be certain.
