Im 31 and Lived here for most of my live, 30 years. I consider my self British, I been schooled here. Never broken the law. I really cant help that I have disability.

I would stay as you are, you have managed it for 30 years. No point thinking about looking for a loan with no income as you wont get one.

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?

Sorry OP - no disrespect to your disability whatsoever.


Its just the thought of anyone taking out a loan, and being able to pay it back with money that the taxpayer is giving them to live - makes me sick to my stomach.


Exactly the same as all these "jobseekers" with 50 inch TV's on their walls


If you can afford to service a loan from your benefits then you are getting too much benefits by definition


I feel very strongly about that - this country is on its @ss


What does being a citizen give you that you dont have now ?
Are you able to then claim for your family too ?


The sense of entitlement of people who do sod all in this country would be funny if it wasnt so shocking


Again, no disrespect about your disability atall - im sorry you are struggling

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.

Your probably more intelligent then most people on the forum i dont consider myself that intelligent. I have been told that om younger then i look.

I would love to be a freelancer in art but theres not much opportunity. I do a guitar course that job center wanted me to do. Which there happy about.

Its ok I understand were you coming from. My staff also adivced against it
. My mum and dad will have to apply for a British passport but they have to pay for it and they have full time jobs. I do believe that you have to work towards getting benefits whether its a voluntary job or doing a course. I have to apply for British citizenship as they can send me back to my birth place in south Africa which i would live in poverty.

Take care

How have you been here 30 years and need to apply for citizenship now?

There are many circumstances under which this could be possible. All those involved in the Windrush scandal hadn't got citizenship and were here since 1973.

sorry you're struggling OP.

I doubt you'll get a loan in your circumstances and if you did it would likely be at an extortionate interest rate.

if you're struggling to get a job could you look at volunteering? even though it's not paid it would give you some experience and allow you to get used to a work environment. it would also make you more appealing to prospective employers and probably give you more confidence.

My 24 yo grandson has been an Asperger sufferer since diagnosis at age 9. He has worked and struggled all his life, against prejudice and bullying, until attaining great qualifications and constantly sending out CV's, touring workplaces and fighting his own condition, which makes it painful for him to meet people he does not know.


At 18 he found a great job as an IT professional. He was also Mensa-tested and found to have genius level IQ. His boss says that he is now his right hand man and he is paying for him to attend a Microsoft course at a local Uni, 2 days a week. He has his own gated, executive apartment and is able to look after his own life without much help from the family that loves him.


You must make an effort to get out there and get work: doesn't really matter what work it is, just going to work daily amongst the same people, day after day, will bring down your anti-social issues. I don't care where you came from, I have no racial or cultural prejudices. However, it is very true that you have to help yourself before you can expect to be helped by others. As Andypix says, this country is in trouble and it is going to get worse, much worse IMO. It is a sad fact that people such as yourself will be the first victims of any benefit reductions or cuts. You MUST make an effort to help yourself NOW.

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

I have worked a bit and did studied in art collage for a b tec before I had a breakdown. I did not have a great grade mind.

I helped my dad maintain buildings and what not.

I always asked myself did I deserve this money and whoever I asked said yes. Theres people with greater disabilities then me who cant work.
