I have banged on here before about the unfairness of the means testing used to assess for parental contributions for student loans and tuition when the parents are divorced and there is a lot of capital swilling around but no earned income.
Have just heard of the same happening with the £30 a week EMA payable to 16-yr-olds if they stay in education. A boy in DS1's class lives with his mother and stepfather - they have a £500k+ house, the stepfather sold his business for £2m+ and does not work, the boy's father just bought a Ferrari, and yet the boy is getting the full £30 a week. And he thinks it's funny!
