what ar prefabs plz?

of course they are,but if they are entitled to EMA then they wil be given it, if there not they wont, should people be given EMA if there parents earn more than the requared amount, no they shouldnt,

PREFABS? are you serious? They had asbestos on the inside part and suffered from "concrete cancer" this is where the metal frame rusts, cracks the concrete and subsequently makes the property highly unstable!! That's why all councils knocked em down and rebuilt OR completely restructured them but minus the asbestos and concrete..

SECTIONAL HOUSE
CLIPS TOGETHER SINGLE HEIGHT
PRE CASTED USUALLY 2 BEDROOM
MADE AFTER WW2

tbf Stray I agree but then there is a large number who can't be bothered to even fill the forms in. I'm taking about help with such things as transport and/or travel training buss passes etc.

Prefabs...pre-fabricated houses footie, introduced after WW2 as affordable housing, intended to be temporary built of panels basically.

I don't actually think there is an overall shortage of housing, what there is is a shortage of affordable housing suited to need. Rents round here ( W Midlands ) have apparently risen at a rate only second to London. Rents are way out of proportion to the sale prices. There is a huge amount of negative equity for a mortgage holders.

if the parents are to lazy to fill the forms in
then they should get nothing its common sense

i lived in a prefab when i was born until i was 3
my family loved it

ty re prefabs.

Rose thats true cos to rent our house would cost twice as much as ar mortgage does.

isnt that what the EMA is for, help with books and learning tools

and most college students if they qualify depending on parents earning get cheap bus passes, if there parents earn to much they dont get the help, as its deemed they dont "need" it

Footie, my idea of a "foreigner" is someone who isnt a British Citizen!!

the kids ar then penalised Joy. It is amazing the amount of forms they bring to us to fill in and yes we can help as far as transitions is concerned. I have to say though some parents don't because they can't read or write.

fair enough S&P on that note though they may not be but their children may be

Joy - on the point of foreign workers claiming their tax back - this may be of interest!

That's only one group - how many haven't been caught?

I'm still intrigued about how people (including MP's) living in this country with offshore bank accounts aren't hauled before the courtd - tax evasion is illegal!!!

Dizzi, see my previous comment on prefabs!!

They're knocking the wossits down and NO ONE is allowed to build them anymore........END OF!!!!

how many people emigrate then come back years later
expecting our benefits system to keep them
that's wrong to


see all the good comments on here
if the government followed this thread
think of the money it could save

fOOTIE, their kids may well be?, but if their parents arent BRITISH, then they have no claim.

yes maggie you so right

and how many MPs claimed all that fraudulent exspences
knowing this country was nearly bankrupt

if the labour government had got back in

how long would it of been before they told us the true situation

and how many billions
do the Nigerians and other countries
owe in student fees they never pay back

thats very true Joy seems the government ar looking in the wrong place for advisors.

point taken S&P

Perhaps we should take to the streets to make our objections heard :)
