(1) Any beneficiary who after 11th April 1988 is entitled to receive milk or dried milk on the presentation of a milk token, but who does not receive such entitlement as a result of failure to receive from the Secretary of State the milk token to which he is entitled under these Regulations, and for which he has applied where required, may apply to the Secretary of State in writing for a payment.

(a) in the case of milk, an amount equal to the approved price for a supplier in the area where the beneficiary resides multiplied by the number of days for which the beneficiary does not receive any, or sufficient, milk tokens;
(b) in the case of dried milk, an amount equal to the lowest price charged for 900 grammes of a dried milk suitable for the beneficiary at the nearest clinic multiplied by the number of weeks for which the beneficiary did not receive any, or sufficient, milk tokens.
