(2) If the Secretary of State is satisfied, on an application under paragraph (1), that the failure to receive evidence of entitlement was the result of an act or omission on his part, he shall pay the beneficiary an amount equal to the cost of purchasing vitamins for the missing period from the nearest convenient clinic to where she lives.
