[jesus]

[Nemo]

i will probaly get it when im old enough, but my mum is going college now and trying to get a job so im not sure.

[VPSwow]

Is this to brag that your parents earn a lot.

However i finish this year so im not sure, i dont think i am entitled to though.

[Fifteen]

urgh, it sucks because my dad earns less that what you need to get it but if you add my child benefits..it adds up to it. :(

[today]

Yes i get it, and jesus yet another thread moanign about EMA.

[dirrty]

no i dont as im not old enough, but when i am old enough i will get it. but if my mother was living here still and not abroad, then i wouldnt be able to get it. long story, dont need to explain.

[Albion]

Lol im not moaning, well not yet anyways, Im not a taxpayer lol.
Just want to see the results.

I'm abit miffed off though, I wish i could have got EMA, but im not going to get it. Im going to work for my money.

[Moh]

Im getting it this year because my mums work wouldnt let her work full time untill I was 16 :p
So atm im getting £30 because she was on part time, so most my ema goes on clothes etc.. :p
but next year ill rather get £10 or £20

[Net-Margin]

Yeah I get EMA but mine generally goes on things which could be considered education, Megarider, Lunch and Books for when I go into next year or University (I like to read ahead :P)

[Neversoft]

Yeah I get it. Have to spend half on the bus each week though.

[Soka]

nope i dont, dad earns too much :rolleyes:

[Matt.]

Yea the free money you get from tax payers and spend on **** n that

Not every one wastes it on ****! I do get ema because my mum doesn't earn much money. I use the money to buy food. I also use the money on the weekend for going out.

[Nixt]

Yes I get it. It just goes on top of my wages though, so I could technically be spending it on anything. You could say that I spend it on my monthly bus pass and then school stuff etc.

[Papershop]

Yes i get it, and jesus yet another thread moanign about EMA.

[Puma!]

EMA is a joke.

Think about it, your only eligable to earn thirty quid a week if your..
. A single Child
. Deceased/Divorced parent(s)
. Earn less than 30k a year (Including tax benefits)

Thats a very very small percentage of the population. - But still yet they advertise it like a large percentage of the people aged 16-18 can recieve it. Even if you are still eligable for it and your parent(s) earn under 30k a year, you will only recieve a smaller amount of money. The only way to earn the full 30 is by having parent(s) that are unemployed and cannot find work due to illness/other related problems, which basically means "If your parents are on the dole, you earn an extra thirty quid a week for staying on in further education".

And no i'm not eligble for it, nor would I claim if was eligable for EMA as it's a waste of the taxpayers money.

[RandomManJay]

I don't get it, and I wouldn't really care if I got it, although a few friends in school have been saying about everyone should get it and all this, and I just think, if you want it, you should get it

im not a single child me and my sister get 30 quid a week
my mum is full time employment and so is dad, but divorced
its not a waste, my mum struggles and i help her out with it.

[&]

No.
When I am 16, i still wont be entitled for it because we earn more than £35kp/a or whatever it is

[Galaxay1]

I get it in january :D

[Throne Sofa]

I don't get EMA, never heard about it.
What is it? How do you get it?

[!!Max!!]

Im meant to get it, as im a single parent family, but i aint never got it but i phoned up and they owe me like £200 in backdates and i need 2 go shopping so i was filled out all the form :D

[Zak]

NO! wish i did though, all my friends at college get it. -cry- lol :(

[adidas™]

nope dont get it.

[Jinc]

Yea the free money you get from tax payers and spend on **** n that

I can't believe someone old enough to recieve EMA would say something so idiotic.

I know plenty of people who wouldn't be able to go to sixth-form without the £30 a week they get.
When you've got to pay board, contribute towards all your schooling equipment, and help support other members of your family, the extra cash is extremely worthwhile.

I'm lucky enough not to need it, but I really don't like the way some can get the money because one of thier parents owns thier own business etc..

[Janet Snakehole]

I'll be getting it next year. :]

[5,5]

Nopers

[benjamin]

not old enough yet but I think i will be entitled to

isn't it like under 30k annual household income? well i only got my mums and she earns 23k basic so should do.
