EMA - ridiculous

[today]

I get £30, though £11 goes to transport and £10 goes for my dinner for the week, that hardly leaves me with much money.

£30 is not enough.

Then your parents must earn enough money to provide for you really.

My mum only earns £7,000 a year, thats nothing.

Not really, you dont have a clue, my mam has like an £80k mortgage and has 4 children to raise. But tbh, i wouldn't take the money off her if she offered it to me. But ofcourse, the government takes non of this into consideration

i can't compare myself to your situation as my parrents have already paid off our mortgage and i'm the youngest son who isn't far from moving out anyway.. but both are retired after full carrers In the policeforce and teaching but having to get jobs to pay the bills and to make sure i can get the equipment and food required... luckily i'm close enough to college that it takes a 20 minute walk....

i guess yearly income after tax is the easist way the goverment can assign ema. lazy idiots

I'd rather have my parents earning more than £30,000 (I think it is that?) combined, then getting £30 which is nothing really.

£30 a week is over £1000 a year

Right, lets put this into perspective. EMA is a load of bullcrap. They only look at anual wage of the household. Theres many other ways around this, i know people getting EMA that get 30£ a week and they have alot of good stuff, but some who don't. They should sort it out.
My dad earns £100k a year +. Its ******** that i don't get EMA. I need money to fund my studying as much as the next person. That money has to look after alot of things, etc 4 children, my mum, him and my grandparents who's in the nursing home. So, imo EMA is ********. I have to make money my own way as my dads taxes goes to pikeys who can get a propa job or just sponge of benifits.

Really. EMA should NOT excist.
