They are soooo confusing especially the parents section....... anyone else finding it confusin to fill out xoxo

Erm... at first, it's just a case of reading it carefully, then you'll be ok . By the way, I sent mine off months ago... just to let you know.

I had to fill one out last year and will have to do so again this year, but I let my mum do most of it because she's a finance officer/accountant, so she's used to scary-looking forms! There's a helpline you can ring if you're really struggling though; the number will be somewhere on the form, guidance notes or leaflet that comes with it.

argh I can't find my bank details or anything and yeah the forms very confusing the questions are vague and ambiguous

i filled something on the EMA link.lol. I filled my bank account details and should send me the application form later on.However i dont think i will be applying for one.

[want2know]

Does anyone know when the deadline is to apply for EMA this year or can it be done anytime in the year?

I'm not sure - but I think you can do it any time and they'll backdate it up to a certain point. There's plenty of time left yet though

i think youd probably do both because EMA doesnt effect benefits
