You child might be in year 11, 12 or 13 and say that they don&amp;rsquo;t eat in school. However if they get free school meals it allows us to support them in other ways e.g. the Student Bursary. Please help us to help them more by applying; you can even do this online!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are a parent or carer of a child and you fall under one of the following criteria, you could claim for a free school meal each day your child is in school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Income Based job Seekers Allowance (IBJSA)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;An income related employment and support allowance (IBESA) &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Support under part VI of the immigration and Asylum Act 1999&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Child Tax Credit provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by Her Majesty&amp;rsquo;s Revenue and Customs) that as of &lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;6 April 2011&lt;/span&gt; does not exceed &lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;&amp;pound;16,190&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
