The EMA lets you earn between £10, £20 or £30 per week depending on the income of your household. It sounds complicated but basically if you’re house-hold earns less than £30,810 than you will be eligible for EMA!!
If you have a part time job yourself this won’t count as your household income so you can still keep earning extras at weekends or evenings.
You can also get extra bonuses for full attendance and good behaviour!!
