Regulation 7 Conditions of allowance

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Every allowance shall be held subject to the following conditions:–

(a)

the holder shall attend regularly the course of study in respect of which the allowance is awarded;

(b)

the Secretary of State shall be satisfied as to the conduct and progress of the holder; and

(c)

the holder shall provide the Secretary of State with such information and such documents as he may from time to time require to enable him to exercise his functions under these Regulations.

If these conditions are not complied with or if the holder receives from any other source any sum which in the opinion of the Secretary of State makes it unnecessary for him to be assisted by means of an allowance, the Secretary of State may suspend payment of the allowance or terminate the allowance.

(2)

It shall be a condition of payment of an allowance that the applicant gives a written undertaking to pay to the Secretary of State any amount of which the Secretary of State may request repayment in the circumstances specified in paragraph (3) below:

Provided that if the applicant is a minor and has any parent or guardian, the parent or guardian shall consent to the undertaking.

(3)

Where the Secretary of State is satisfied that there has been an overpayment of allowance for any reason and requests repayment of the overpayment or so much thereof as he thinks fit, and the holder of the allowance has given an undertaking under paragraph (2) above, the holder of the allowance shall be obliged to pay to the Secretary of State the amount requested.
