Regulation 4 Payment of an allowanceI1
Scotland
The Scottish Ministers may pay an allowance to the school in respect of an aided pupil who attends the school, if they are satisfied that the school has—
submitted a claim in accordance with regulation 3; and
complied with or, as appropriate, will comply with the conditions specified in regulation 5.
If the Scottish Ministers are satisfied of the matters in paragraph (1) in respect of a reimbursement claim, they must pay an allowance to the school in pursuance of the claim as soon as is reasonably practicable.
An allowance paid under paragraph (2) must be of an amount equal to any fees or charges remitted or grants made by the school under the Scheme.
If the Scottish Ministers are satisfied of the matters in paragraph (1) in respect of a provisional claim, they may pay an allowance to the school in pursuance of the claim where they consider it expedient to do so.
