They should just assume that if you don't reply, you're no longer eligible. The other one was for a bus pass which they probably won't give me anyway so I could end up having to spend £2,000 on transport just to complete my A Levels. With university as well, education could land me in a serious lot of debt.
how come you wont get child benefit? i thought everyone under the age of 18 in full time education was entitled to it?

Internet was going on and off of it's own accord last night, which really annoyed me. My friend used up her last 10p credit to text me and tell me to go online. We were chatting for an hour or something and then she had a powercut, but came back when the power did and then my internet started going. She has a TD Day today so she was going out last night and asked if I wanted to go. I checked the bus times only to find that I could get there but not get back It's ridiculous, it's already over £4 for a return to a bus stop which she'll have to walk quite a way to meet me at. That's a child's fare which I shouldn't really be getting away with. I think it's just stupid there's a bus there but not one back later; what do they think people are going to do, sleep in the bus shelter?
it depends how popular the route is i think. from the bus station to my uni house i can get 3 different buses, 1 of the routes stops at 7pm, while the other 2 run til 11pm, 1 goes every hour and the other goes every half hour. in my area no buses run after about 11.30pm which is annoying, but if not enough people want to use them then theyre not going to run them
They sent my mum a booklet of stuff and in it it said that they couldn't pay child benefit if the child was going on to a course that would lead to higher education and a load of other things.

There's hardly any busses round here, busses there sound great. They run every hour into town and that's as good as it gets. It can be up to two hours between busses for other places. Living in a residential estate is not a good idea. It's not the best of firms either but it's the only one that does that route. The last bus back from where I wanted to go last night was at like half 7.
