Financial Assessment form-dependants

Child dependants in further/higher education-It asks are they receiving financial support? If so, from which authority or organisation?

What exactly are they asking for here- bursaries(like Uni or NHS), EMA, parental help, Child benefit?

    Local authority, NHS. Not parental help.

    Thank you Taiko(sorry don't know how to do the other thank you thing)

    So for a child studying in 6th form you would put EMA-would you say it from local council, Government, other?
    Do they then include that in their calculations?

    If you just list EMA, there's no actual option on the SLC database. It causes part of your household income to be disregarded in a split contribution style. It's not really relevent to your situation though.
