yeah it is true, i couldn't get payments cos my dad earns too much but now my parents separated so i can, i just haven't been bothered to do it. they calculate it on your income and your parents that you live with. i think the threshold is something like 28 thou, so chances are you won't be eligible.

28k? they serious. well if my parents get more cant i say they are stingy and dont support me/ feed me, and i have to get money on my own?
