Regulation 41 Requirement to provide national insurance numberI1

The Welsh Ministers may make it a condition of entitlement to payment of the contribution to costs loan or any instalment of the loan that an eligible student must provide them with the student‘s United Kingdom national insurance number.

If that condition is imposed, the Welsh Ministers must not make any payment of the contribution to costs loan until the eligible student has complied, unless the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that, owing to exceptional circumstances, it would be appropriate to make a payment despite the condition not being complied with.
