Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) payments delays

press statement via LSC Corporate news by on 3 September

The Learning and Skills Council has confirmed that all eligible students who apply for the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) and who may have experienced delays with the processing of their application form will get all the payments for which they are eligible. All payments will be backdated and no-one will miss out.

Hazel's comment:
That's all very well but I can hear the moans from here. If you're in a position to be eligible for EMA then you've been means-tested and you bloomin' well need the money. Not next week or next month when the backlog of applications may have been processed but now.
