Fudge Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think the key word in this sentence is "supposed". The only 'loophole' is that if a kid's parents are divorced and one of them fills it in as a single parent despite the fact that they both contribute to the kid's upbringing. I wouldn't begrudge anyone getting £30 a week if their household income was less than £22k p/a 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pencils Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I have absolutely no idea tbh. But the amount of people I know who get it is astounding, so perhaps I'm wide off the mark and it's actually even higher than that. Same, nearly everyone I know gets one. Its shite too, they get it every 2 weeks. So its one payment of £60 quid. So every couple of weeks, everyones away to Stirling to spend there EMA on loads a shit. It really annoys me.

fafc1885 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The thing is, the EMA is far too generous. That's why so many people get it (even the wealthier people). IMO it should be families on 15k a year and less who get it.* They are cutting back though, soon it'll be £30 payments only (they are getting rid of the £20 and £10 which I guess is a step in the right direction).*This change should not be implemented until I've left. you do know that you can't get EMA next year though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 you do know that you can't get EMA next year though I'm sure there will be some other money I can gain from being a poor lad at uni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Strange deflection from laughing at handicapped . I wasn't 'laughing at the handicapped'. The fact he was handicapped was only included in the story to explain why someone was making moaning noises throughout. Had it been a non handicapped child making funny noises during it I would have found it equally funny. It was a natural reaction and something I honestly could not help. I was almost roaring with laughter during the minute's silence for the Queen Mother's funeral as the local Tryst fair was in town and while the crowd stood for the silence, circa 100 yards away there was pumping dance music and shouts of 'scream if you wanna go faster!' Maybe I'm just a bad man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) up to £20,817 - £30 £20,818- £25,521 - £20 £25,521 - £30,810 - £10 That's the payment plan and it takes in total household income (both parents).

Fudge Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 up to £20,817 - £30£20,818- £25,521 - £20 £23,521 - £30,810 - £10 That's the payment plan and it takes in total household income (both parents). I don't have a problem with that. I wouldn't like to try and raise a kid on a household income of less than £30k. The only downside is that I'd prefer some if not all of the money went to the parents because you just know the kid will spend it on rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 up to £20,817 - £30£20,818- £25,521 - £20 £25,521 - £30,810 - £10 That's the payment plan and it takes in total household income (both parents). I applied for that, and I didn't get anything back. My mum earns £22,000 (roughly) p/a, so if you've got a single parent the ruling is different. Either that, or they scrapped the £20 one for single parents. The letter didn't explain much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be way off here but don't you need a certain percentage of attendence to get these? If the kid doesn't get it they might not bother turning up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the kid doesn't get it they might not bother turning up. You need to be in school on time every day. If you're off once, without a doctor's note, you don't get it for that week. Something like that, anyway. Edited November 11, 2009 by Smurph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
