ema acceptance.

[PaulMacC]

How long does it take, I sent my form away 28th August. My mum filled it in and my mate said you need to include your passport or something, I dont think it said on the form though. Does anyone know when I'll recieve an approval letter and if it doesnt get approved do I get a reject letter.

[Alkaz]

You dont need to send your passport.
+ Last year it took about 6 weeks because of soo many people. Hopefully this year they hired more people to cope with it. You should probably get it this week.

I reapplied for mine in june and havnt got it yet so ye.

[Callum.]

not totally sure, but you won't get backdated payments as you only sent it like a week before the course start

[dirrty]

they're useless at doing things on time. you'll be back-payed anyway so not too much worry.

My friend who applied in June just got his this week. A few of my friends who also sent their applications away in August haven't got any word back either. The EMA form said any applications sent in before September 30th will have back-dated payments given on the next payment date once their application is complete.

I sent mine off on the last week of the holiday and got it back today, so that's um, 2-4 weeks? ;D? + No you don't send anything off such as passports, as long as you've filled everything you need to correctly you should be fine.

[PaulMacC]

Got a letter back today saying I forgot to send off a few things so just need to send this out and should take another week to verify ;)

[Alkaz]

Ive already started to receive EMA! :D

[DJ-Ains.T]

You should get it soon but last year they went wrong big time.

[PaulMacC]

Ive already started to receive EMA! :D
I have to wait 2 weeks for mine :(
At least I'll have like £120 back payment :D

[H0BJ0B]

I don't get any because my parents earn about double the maximum for just £10; therefore I cannot tell you - sorry.

[Alkaz]

Pointless post much :S
Sounds like you'e trying to brag to me. If you actually read you would have seen that the thread was resolved a while ago.

[H0BJ0B]

Hello Alkaz,

I did indeed read the thread, and I reviewed and analysed each post. A resolution isn't a call for the end of a discussion.

This thread is about EMA, therefore I decided to post that I don't receive it (sadly), due to my parents' income.

The fact this thread is about EMA, and my post was about EMA means that it was not a pointless post.

I quote Catzsy (Assistant General Manager - Community):

A pointless post is a completely random statement such as 'I am wearing red socks' in the middle of a thread.

You may have been trying to say it is off-topic but that was changed by sierk years ago:

Rule C18 will be changed so that it is less strict. Posting off topic will from now on be allowed, as long as a post has some relation to a previous post in the thread.
This means it is no longer necessary to stick to the subject of a thread, as long as the post has something to do with an earlier post in the thread.

It is still not allowed to reply to a thread with a post that is completely random, which means it has no relation at all to the subject of the thread or to any other posts in the thread.

Therefore, I believe you have no right to accuse me of such a thing, and that your points are flawed.

What the hell Danny, are you drunk or something :S

[H0BJ0B]

No Paul. However I'm not taking crap from Joe who's just turned against me for no apparent reason. Paul, I apologise for ruining the vibe of your thread.

My parents sent it all off in very early September. Today we recieved a letter saying we didn't send a bank statement. That letter was dated 9th September.
