perhaps students should apply for EMA and tick boxes of what they need it for.. so instead of getting cash they get a monthly bus pass.. or vouchers for school supplys sent to them? I don't know just a thought..

yep ema shud be giving out in vouchers, so that it restricts what people can buy. Im sure the bus company could sort out a way to accept vouchers? :)!

I only found that out yesterday because they say on adverts earn up to £500 but last year i only got £200 - i didn't think they would give you one for going back to college, it is silly but ohwell.

Some times the system messes up, my friends did for a whole term and she had a pay out of around 500 pound.

And they do give you bonuses, two a year if i remember, one at summer and one at christmas.

I went to college but i was refused EMA because my parents were out of the income bracket to be entitled, which annoyed me because what the hell does how much your parents earn have to do with EMA, I never ask my parents for money, I earned my own money with my job and it just used to annoy me

I got £90 yesterday too, but I agree with Ostin that they should either give it to everyone or no-one because it's unfair however it's not just the parents of people who don't get EMA that pay tax, everyone does, wether their children get EMA or not so I think 'my parent's said you are welcome' is slightly unfair and derogatory.

Well I guess it was but so is rubbing in the fact certain individuals are getting hundreds of pounds whilst others aren't. If I made threads saying how my mum and dad were giving me all that money just because they were so rich I would have everyone on my case - it's the same principle.

I think EMA is very unfair. I know for a fact that one of my friends who is getting £30 per week doesn't need it (for his GCSEs his parents gave him £1000 for every A or A* he got, totaling £6k, extreme or what?) I was just over the boundary with my parent's combined income by literally about £100.

IMO, either everyone should get EMA or no-one should get it.

whoooosh

I hate ema.
i want it.

I like the concept of EMA but I know i wont be able to get it.

my mum is a single parent and earns 40k a year. This is too much for EMA but too little to survive on.
So it benifits poorer people and rich people dont need it but what about middle people, they dont get anything.

How is it "too little to survive on"..

My mum gets less then £10k a year and i get EMA.

You and your mum must spend out on almost everything you dont need.
