1. Corporation tax is owed by your company who is a separate legal entity to yourself
2. "credit card and loan etc" - What the hell does that mean? People can have multiple credit card debts and loans
3. "already down graded my house and on flat share and sold my car" - more rubbish.
Anyway if you were telling the truth and not changing your story you have already been given advice.
Pay back the £5000 into the company, pay that money directly to HMRC, negotiate the rest of your debts and then sign on. Oh and make sure you pay your council tax as you don't want to end up in prison.

If you need £10k a month just to keep your head above water, you should have a sufficient grasp of running a business to sustain that lifestyle.

Blow the £20k on women and drugs. Or squander it. Then go bankrupt.

Having a significant bank balance of £20k, which is loaned from the company, whilst having a corporate debt to HMRC is crazy.
That said, as MS says - if you have paid NI then you can get contributions-based JSA as long as you are redundant. It's up to £72.40 a week, depending on your age.
You won't be eligible for any other JSA though because you have £20k in savings.

Have you paid NI? My understanding is that you can claim 6 months of contribution based JSA which isn't means tested. There's some debate as to whether company money is included in means tested JSA - seems to me the simplest thing would be to pay your corp tax early, then it's a non-issue. Good luck, hope you get sorted.
