Regulation 8 Payment of grant

Subject to regulation 6, as soon as is reasonably practicable after she is satisfied that a grant claim is in order, the Secretary of State shall pay the grant in respect of the claim, although she may, where she considers it appropriate to do so, make earlier payments on account in respect of that claim or in respect of a provisional claim relating to 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.
