A disabled postgraduate student's grant is payable in respect of the four quarters of the academic year.

The Welsh Ministers may pay a disabled postgraduate student's grant in such instalments (if any) and at such times as they think appropriate.

The Welsh Ministers may, if they think it appropriate, pay any amount of disabled postgraduate student's grant payable for the purpose of assisting with expenditure on major items of specialist equipment as a single amount in respect of the whole academic year.

Where the Welsh Ministers make a provisional decision on an application for disabled postgraduate student's grant, the Welsh Ministers may make a payment based on that decision.

If the Welsh Ministers think it appropriate to make payments by transfer into a bank or building society account they may require an eligible postgraduate student to provide details of such an account in the United Kingdom into which payments may be made.

If that requirement is imposed, the Welsh Ministers may not make any payment of the disabled postgraduate student's grant until the eligible postgraduate student has complied.
