    My daughter got hers a couple of weeks ago. The last few weeks before end of term she didnt get ema as her hours got cut at college and she only did 9 hours I was surprised she got the bonus although her attendance has always been very good

    My son has not received his yet. His college did approve it, but not got it as yet. Some of his friends, not on his course, received it a couple of weeks ago.
  • In Scotland they have scrapped the EMA bonuses too (both January and June), and the covering letter with the application form for 2010/11 advises that (should you qualify) the EMA weekly payment is only guaranteed til December 2010, when it will be "reviewed" by the Scottish Government, so it might not be around at all after Christmas. The £10 and £20 levels were scrapped last year, so only students whose family income was under around £21K (£22K with additional dependent children) are eligible.
