# The Early Years Assistance (Best Start Grants) (Scotland) Regulations 2018, Regulation 12: Meaning of references to assistance being awarded


(1) An individual is not to be regarded as having been awarded a kind of assistance for a day or a period if—
(a) the award was made in error (whether or not induced by the individual); or
(b) the sum awarded to the individual for the day or the period is £0.
(2) In sub-paragraph (1)(b), the reference to “the sum awarded” means, in a case where a deduction has been made—
(a) in respect of any liability the individual has to another person; or
(b) by way of a sanction,
the sum that would have been awarded had the deduction not been made.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, in sub-paragraph (1) “kind of assistance” includes universal credit as well as the kinds of assistance specified in regulation 11.
