EMA

[jackass]

I don't qualify for EMA, and neither do most of the people at my school.

It's not fair, i'm not even rich!

It depends on your parents' annual salaries.

I know, and it really isn't that much!

Lol, have you tried to apply? Did they disallow you?

I think i've found the problem

It’s not too late to apply for EMA

Technical problems with the EMA helpline have meant that some people have had difficulty getting hold of an application form.

So that no-one who is entitled to EMA misses out, the deadline for getting backdated payments has been extended.

This means that as long as you’ve got your application in by the end of October, you won’t miss out on any payments.

Nice find Sam.

Lmao and the other section.

If you’ve already applied for EMA
When will your application be processed?

There have been some difficulties introducing the new system for processing applications. Many are being processed manually, and this has led to some delays.

Extra staff have been brought in to speed things up, and the aim is to respond to all applications within five weeks.

To make sure your application is processed as quickly as possible, check that you’ve completed the form correctly and return all the relevant evidence with it.

Will your EMA payments be backdated?
You won’t miss out on payments because of any delay in processing your application.

Payments will be backdated to the start of your course - as long as you’ve got your application in by the end of October.
