Loan for jobseekers

McKneff

If you are on jsa then you must be job seeking.

I cant get my head round the fact that you are actually claiming benefits after not putting a penny in to the economy as you have never worked ?

I'd question why we should allow a disabled person who has never had a job in this country and no immediate prospects thereof to become a citizen in the first place?

Are you saying that disabled people should not be allowed to migrate? I think it would be very poor for any immigration system to discount migrants with disabilities.

I welcome migrants to the UK. Anyone who wants to come here with aspirations to improve their family life and employment prospects is more than welcome.

No, but one who's 31 and never had a job isn't exactly a good addition to the economy.

I also have Aspergers and do freelance work. We tend to be more intelligent than the norm, so we have something to offer. Do you have a youthful appearance? It tends to put off employers, I find, in terms of adult employment.

I would definitely not suggest that you are not able to work. It may be that you would require some sort of additional support. The point is, that I have worked alongside a variety of different people, with a variety of mental health problems, in both voluntary and paid employment.

Example: I have a mental health disability. I have a psychiatrist, a social worker and a support worker. They all work with me and my employers, to ensure I can sustain my employment, even during periods when I am particularly unwell.

So don't be downhearted or dispirited as far as your employment prospects go. Anything is possible. You just have to be determined and persevere

Edit: As far as getting a loan is concerned. You have no hope, apart from companies that charge unaffordable interest rates. I suggest paying for your paperwork using your current income.

System

Is there any particular reason you need to become a British citizen at this moment in time? is not having one restricting your employment prospects?

Are you actively searching for a job at the moment? Surely you could just save for the paperwork instead of rushing and putting yourself in debt for nothing more than a piece of paper? Surely after 30 years here it means you probably have a right to stay already?

It was about £2500 but thats not the passort. Its for all the paperwork. I do have the money but its just tad short so im just going to go without my dla for a few months. It was my emergency cash for time like these.

You need a job to repay the loan.
