We have a client whose husband receives DLA MRCC and for whom nobody receives CA. She works FT and receives WTC + CTC for 2 children.
Their daughter, aged 16, is about to enter 6th Form, and will receive an Education Maintainance Allowance of £30. They estimate that she will be doing less than 21 hours a week of supervised study, so would not be precluded from claiming CA. We assume that were she to do so that income would be ignored for the purposes of tax credits. But what impact, if any, would CA have on her EMA?
We've tried phoning the EMA Helpline but it's permanently engaged; it must be that time of year.
