Refugee Integration Loan 

If you have recently been granted refugee leave or humanitarian protection, or you are a dependent of someone with either type of leave, and you are aged at least 18, you may be eligible for an integration loan. 

This has to be paid back but it is an interest-free loan. The smallest amount you can borrow is £100 and the maximum is £500 or £780 for a couple. 

You can apply for an integration loan to help cover the cost of the essential items needed to start a new life, for example a rent deposit or rent, moving expenses, household items, work clothes or equipment, or training and education expenses. Claims are made online and are decided by the Home Office
