24.—(1) Subject to the following paragraphs, the amount payable in respect of a particular element of the grant for dependants for which an eligible student qualifies under regulations 21 to 23 is the amount of that element remaining after applying, until it is extinguished or no element remains payable under regulations 21 to 23, an amount equal to (A − B) as follows and in the following order—

(a) to reduce the basic amount of the adult dependants' grant where the eligible student qualifies for that element under regulation 21; and

(b) to reduce the basic amount of parents' learning allowance where the eligible student qualifies for that element under regulation 23.

(2) Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), where B is greater than or equal to A, the basic amount of each element of the grant for dependants for which the eligible student qualifies is payable.
