Daughter's part time earnings?

Hi all

My daughter has just started a weekend job to supplement her EMA while she studies at college. At the moment she receives between £25 and £40 depending on her hours.

My question's are:

1) Should she inform the EMA people of this income?

and

2) As we are in receipt of Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit should we declare this income to those Agencies?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I've had a trawl and couldn't find the answers.

Thank you

    Nope, EMA only take into account parent's earnings.

    Ditto tax credits
