Regulation 8 Payment of grant

Subject to Regulation 6, as soon as is reasonably practicable after he is satisfied as respects a grant claim, the Secretary of State shall pay the grant in pursuance of the claim without prejudice, however, where he considers it appropriate, to his making earlier payments on account in pursuance of the claim or in pursuance of a provisional claim in respect of the same period.

Any over-payment or under-payment of grant which appears to the Secretary of State to have occurred shall be adjusted as soon as is reasonably practicable by payments between the Secretary of State and the school concerned.
