hugs I sympathise, my daughter is 22, at uni, living at home to minimise the total cost that she has to repay on her loan,so effectively we are supporting her. What annoys me is that if she were to move in with her boyfriend, our income would still have an effect on what she is entitled to,so as factor says, it is dependant on parental income, know this might not help but it is a subject close to my heart, and it seems unfair,hope you have luck with your EMA claim, Slinky x
