They are funded by the Home Office, who make the initial decisions on applications. They are then administered and recouped by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).</p><p>Refugee integration loans are interest-free loans with favourable repayment terms for individuals who are over 18 and meet the following eligibility criteria:</p><ul><li>a refugee;</li><li>you have humanitarian protection;</li><li>a dependant of a refugee or someone with humanitarian protection.</li></ul><p>Individuals are currently able to borrow between £100 and £500. Between £100 to £780 can be borrowed if submitting a joint application with a partner.</p><p>All loan repayments are expected in full and money recovered can be recycled to provide funds for new refugees</p><p>The Home Office work with DWP to administer the loans across different IT platforms. Consequently, data is not held in an easily reportable format and would require a manual search of records that would incur a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 23/05/2024 15:50:36 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
