A child's earnings do not affect payment of Child Benefit (CHB). If yir girlfriend is still in Full Time Education, she can work but it must be LESS than 24 hours a week. The CHB will not be affected but as the Houseold Income will have increased, the rate of EMA may go down. The rates of EMA are


up to �20,817 per year you get �30 per week
�20,818 - �25,521 per year you get �20 a week
�25,522 - �30,810 per year you get �10 a week
