Housing benefit or any benefit claimants and unemployed people, often still referred to as DSS or DHSS who need a loan should not despair there are people and firms who can help you. Here we will give you help and information you need to search for a loan suitable for you.

Loans given to people on benefits or unemployed people come in the form of a cash advance direct to you or if you have a bank account by transfer straight into your bank, usually on the same day.

Receiving the money this quickly is one of the main advantages of applying for a loan in this way.

Once you've had a good look at what's available and found a suitable benefit loan, the best thing to do is apply for it. Once your application has been approved, usually immediately online, the money can reach your account, or be delivered to your door as cash as quick as one day. Some loans will often take one week to reach you. Again if getting the money really quickly is important you need to check this when you apply.

Generally, these loans can be used for whatever you need if for, so if you need some new clothes for the kids, a holiday, house furniture or repairs then use if for that.

The companies that loan to people who are unemployed or claiming benefit is great news for you as it means you can get that much needed money quickly! You will need certain information when you apply which will vary depending on the company you apply to so make sure you read the on-line form properly as if you miss anything out it will delay your successful application.

Believe it or not there are many specialist companies providing financial services of this kind to people claiming benefit. They understand your circumstances and you won't be judged badly by the fact you are claiming benefit unlike the more traditional banks and finance companies.

The length (term) of these loans can vary from one week to several years. Usually the APR quoted on short term loans appears to be very high and this is usually because there maybe an admin fee and when you calculate how much the loan would cost you if you took it over a year instead of one month the interest is compounded up and gives a super high APR.

The main thing you have to decide yourself is are you happy paying the amount of interest quoted on the loan you are taking our over the term you decide? For example you might consider it okay to pay 50 interest on a 500 loan over a month. Effectively you're paying 50 for the benefit of having 500 now and if you a happy with that sort of deal then perhaps that loan is for you.

Your cash loan is often repaid in weekly or monthly installments to the lender which means that you need to plan ahead and allow for this money each time it is due. We advise everyone to read the small print before you apply.

So have a good look at what's available and then apply. Good luck.
