It's not fair that 16 & 18 year olds are paid less than those over the age of 21. There’s no under-21s discount on rent, and there’s no student discount on our bills.

weekly £30 EMA payments in Northern Ireland haven't increased one penny since 2004, make it make sense 🤷
this vital scheme hasn't been updated since 2013, with the number of students receiving EMA HALVED over the past decade. 📉

Did you know that weekly £30 EMA payments haven't risen since 2004, and eligibility thresholds haven't been updated since 2013?
This has meant successful EMA applications have HALVED in the past decade. 📉
