Benefit loans – Can you get a loan if you are on benefits?
This is a question that is answered differently depending on the lender you apply to. Some lenders require that all applicants are in either full or part-time employment, so will not provide a loan if you are unemployed. Many lenders now take a view that if you can prove that you can make the required repayments, they will be willing to consider your application. If you need to borrow money and are receiving long-term benefits such as disability living allowance, lenders will take this income into consideration when scoring your application for a benefit loan.
At CUJ Loans, our broker partner works with one of the largest direct lender panels in the UK. As such, some of the lenders that they work with will consider applicants who have a regular income from certain types of benefits and could offer same day benefit loans. If your benefits are guaranteed for the period of your loan, they may be able to help you find a short term loan for people on benefits.
If you are on benefits and need a quick loan today, our application process is quick and easy. By filling in one simple online form, our broker partner will search among their panel of direct lenders to find the best loans for people on benefits. Their lenders all use soft search technology, so when you apply for a loan through CUJ Loans, it does not have any impact on your credit score, as a soft search cannot be seen by other lenders. Once you accept your loan offer, the lender will then perform a hard credit search to finalise your benefits loan.
