Getting EMA???

Question

Hi

I am starting college in september but am not entitled to get EMA

but i dont get any extra money of ma parents and have to pay for everything i get out of my savings from birthdays and xmas

do you think if we said my dad didnt live with us and i just lived with ma mum and shown her P60 i would be able to get EMA??

it would really help our household as all the money we do get goes straight out paying of debts etc??

please dont criticise

Answer 1

I dont think you should do that its fraud and your parents could get in trouble. If you speak to student services they may be able to arrange a grant for you.

Answer 2

yes just do that lol. most people go college just for EMA. and goodluck. £30 is alot because you can get £1000 a year.

Answer 3

Benefit fraud, you get caught in the end.

Answer 4

hey, ive just finished my first year at college and do get ema

i have a friend who shouldnt get EMA but has fixed it so he has, so if i was you i would

i should also tell you it is impossible to live on EMA alone, you dont even get it in the holidays, i had to get a job to help me

Answer 5

r u saying ur dad would move out so u can get ema?

if he did he would be paying rent and bills elsewhere so therefore ur £30 a week would not cover that.

so that would be pointless

r u saying u would pretend ur dad has moved out?

that could work but would be illigal and if caught u could have to pay it all back.

and it would be likly ud get caught as ur dad would be on the council tax register at ur home address

Answer 6

If you proved your income for where you live is within the range to get EMA you can get it, but if your mum earns over approx 30k a year then you won't get it. It depends on your parents incomes really.

Answer 7

well you can't lie just  to get a bit of money..it's not right

if you're not entitled then you're not entitled

i can't get it coz i'm not from an eu country and my parents make more that £40,000 a year together so

i learned to live with it

you should too ^_^

not criticizing ..just saying...life's hard..
