Evidence

You’ll need to send us evidence when you’re applying and during your course so we can check you’re eligible for EMA.

If you’ve applied online, you’ll be able to submit evidence to us through your online account. You'll only need to send us evidence items by post where we specify that.

If you received a letter from us asking for evidence, you can use these guides to help work out what you should send.

If you or your parent(s), guardian(s) or partner completed a paper tax return for the 2022 to 2023 tax year, you may find this guide useful.
