I cant win, it seems the only loan I can get is a poxy  £3000 because Im on benefits, who can get me a loan of 16k.

How can you pay £16k back on benefits?

Not saying you cant, but I earn a half decent wage, and that would be hard for me to pay back (depending on the term obviously)

thats my problem, but over 10 years is affordable.

i wouldnt be in this stupid struggling situation if the stupid British copied the Chinese, if the pricks injected me id be out working not on  benefits.

Still a lot of money though for someone to pay on benefits. Im not against you getting one, but can see why the loan companies dont want to lend you the money.

£16k over 10 years is around £200 per month, which is quite a lot for being on benefits etc.

Do you own your house? If so you could try a secured loan?!

no council,

If you can easily afford a spare £200 a month, do you not have any savings?

remember, hes on benefits, if he had any savings theyd just cut his benefit until he didnt, then let him starve for about 6 months before re-instating them. Privateer is actually disabled and therefore clearly last in line for benefits behind every sponger and cheat going.

I admit I know little to nothing about Ataxia or the treatment which is available in China, but if said treatment can turn a totally disabled man into a man capable of earning himself a living then it is beyond me why it isnt being provided for. Surely paying Privateers benefits from now until the day he dies will ultimately cost a hell of a lot more than this treatment?

Perhaps you should contact David Cameron, he wants to get people off incapacity benefit and into work, sounds like this is his chance!

a perfect answer and yes the treatment in China will fix me enough to work, but having the BBC do a Safety recall on Stem Cell treatments, doesnt help people like me this is me with Ataxia.

If it works theres a % scale of what work they give 6 injections, but people with the worst results still say their speech is fixed, after 2 the speech is fixed.
