(2C)If—
(a)any balance remains, and
(b)the secondary contributor makes an application for the purpose to the Inland Revenue,
the Inland Revenue shall, in such manner and at such time (or within such period) as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State, pay to the secondary contributor an amount equal to the remaining balance.
