Regulation T4 Beneficiary who is incapable

If the Secretary of State considers that a beneficiary is unable to look after his affairs (by reason of illness, mental disorder, minority or otherwise), she may use any amounts due to the beneficiary for his benefit or may pay them to some other person to do so.

Payment under paragraph (1) to a person other than the beneficiary will discharge the Secretary of State from any obligation in respect of the amount concerned.
