My DD will be at collage in sept 07 and I Will apply for A EMA for her but I have just looked at the website and It is asking for P60 so whants to see your income for the last year by sept I will be on materity leave and will then be on less about half my normal income My OH is self employed as well so his income is not the same every week I think we will have a problem filling the form in so who can you ask for help?

Ask your local authority for advice. It's worth noting that your DD will have to meet certain conditions when at the college, such as attendance, punctuality, commitment to study, participation in lesson etc. If she meets this she will earn up to £30 per week and a bonus of £100 at the end of term 1 and term 2. She will require a report to be written from her tutors to confirm she has met the requirements. So reminder it will pay to stick in, she will earn her qualification and ££££££££ Good luck to you DD

I had this problem with the student loan, my mum lost her job due to a back injury just as I was starting uni so the P60 was useless.

Best thing to do is to apply with the P60 but then include a note explaining the situation and see what they say. The student loans company accepted an estimated amount and then this year have gone back and checked that we werent lying with the estimate (if we had they would have asked for all the cash I was given back). They also needed a doctors note to explain that my mum could never work again, so wouldnt be earning.

I think if you look at the EMA forms,you will see that if you get Child Tax Credit, you can just send a copy of that showing what you get, which saves a lot of paperwork on the form.
