EMA Deadline

[Dean]

Does anyone know the deadline to submit my EMA Form?

It doesn't say anywhere on the EMA website or on the form itself.

Send it away now, the sooner the better mate.
I know people last year who didn't send theres in untill like when college started and they went weeks without pay, obviously they got paid in the end but i'd rather have it from the beginning personally.

People don't find out if they have a place at college till august to late September so you'll be fine.

You may have delayed payments, but you get it back tracked :)

[Dean]

Alright thanks guys, +rep :)

I know this i nkow this! even though its already kind of been answered. Since some people's birthdays (like mine) are at the end of august, they cant get their 16+ bank accounts, which means they can't get ema. So u can send off for your ema a few weeks into the start of college and they'll back track your payments. Although if u can, i'd send it off asap.

[Alexx..]

There isn't one. You just need to send it off ASAP so it's all sorted for when you go to college :)

Before October half term if you want to get backdated I think, thats what happened to me anyways.

[PaulMacC]

Yup, and now you dont have to apply anymore for the 2nd year of sixth form/college, so just this year and you'll be fine. The end of October is usually when you cant get backdated but you should be fine as long as you send your application in before then.

Tbf people when i was at college took ages to send theres off even when we started
i Just think it backtracked it to when they started
But the earlier is better because its all done :)

I'd send it asap but I know there isn't a deadline but EMA will only back pay you for 6 weeks

I thought i was right about them back paying, and also when u get it done, you won't recieve ema for 2 weeks cuz its 2weeks
Back dated or somthing like that :)

I didnt get mine the first week I was at college but I think that was just because of the summer holidays, mine didnt get back dated at all!

Lucky you, i hated going back after like a 2 week holiday and u have no money for 2 weeks >.<

I sent my EMA form in like Mid-September (my bad) but I still received all payments owed :)
