Regulation 8 Transfers of the reference amount
A request may be made to the Secretary of State for the transfer to a person by the Secretary of State of all, or any part, of a reference amount and Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 2 have effect for these purposes.
The Secretary of State must, as soon as practicable after the receipt of a request made under paragraph (1)—
determine that request; and
give notice in writing to the person who made the request of the Secretary of State’s decision in relation to that request.
For the purposes of determining a request made under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State may require additional information or evidence in support of that request under paragraph 9 or 16 of Schedule 2.
A person to whom all, or any part, of a reference amount is transferred following a request made under paragraph (1) and Part 2 of Schedule 2 in circumstances where paragraph 13 of that Schedule applies, is, for the purposes of these Regulations, to be treated as a person who has satisfied the eligibility condition in regulation 6(1)(a).
