Hello I have Asperger and I am claiming Job seekers and I am on DLA at middle rate. I am looking to claim about £3000. I never had a job so thats the biggest issue.
Need the cash as its for becoming a British citizen and its to pay for fees
Hope i make sense.

The key thing for lenders is that they want their money back, so you have to show that you will be able to make the repayments and finish paying back the loan.
However, JSA and DLA are designed to cover your expenses (for living and job search costs) and are not intended to leave you with a surplus.
Hence most lenders would want to see further income in order to show that the repayments are affordable to you.
For smaller amounts there could be options (e.g. some credit unions will consider small loans without seeing a history of savings with them) but I doubt that you would find any conventional lender at all that would consider lending £3000 in the circumstances you describe.0 -
Zero chance of a loan in your circumstances i'm afraid.0

First you need to get a job to earn some money, so you can pay back your loan.
