7.—(1) This regulation applies in the case of a person who has not attained the age of 20.
(2) The condition is that the period found in accordance with Cases 1 and 2 has not expired in his case.
(1.1The period is from the date on which he ceases to receive relevant education or approved training, up to and including—
(a)the week including the terminal date, or
(b)if he attains the age of 20 on or before that date, the week including the last Monday before he attains that age.
(1.2For the purposes of this Case the “terminal date” means—
(a)the last day in February,
(b)the last day in May,
(c)the last day in August,
(d)the last day in November,
whichever first occurs after the date on which the person’s relevant education or approved training ceased (but subject to paragraph 1.3 of this Case).
(1.3In the case of a person in Scotland who—
(a)undertakes the Higher Certificate or Advanced Higher Certificate immediately before ceasing relevant education, and
(b)ceases relevant education on a date earlier than he would have done had he undertaken the comparable examination in England and Wales,
the terminal date shall be reckoned by reference to the date on which the cessation would have occurred had he undertaken the comparable examination.

(a)from the later of—
(i)date when that person ceased to receive relevant education, or
(ii)the date on which he attained the age of 16,
(b)up to and including—
(i)whichever of the dates in paragraph 1.2 (as modified by paragraph 1.3 where appropriate) first occurs after the conclusion of the examination (or the last of the examinations if the person is entered for more than one), or
(ii)the expiry of the week which includes the last Monday before his 20th birthday,
whichever is the earlier.
This paragraph is subject to the following qualification.
