EMA entitlement

Hi.
At what age does entitlement to EMA stop, 18 or 19 (have heard it's for students 16,17 or 18 but also for 16-19 yr olds). If it's only for under 19s does it stop when you turn 19 even if you're still on an eligible course? Thanks

    Hi, I think its 19.

    A relative of mines repeated upper sixth but she still got her EMA for the extra year when she was 18/19.

    If you're still on an eligible course, then it's 19.
