4.—(1) The time limit for making an application for a revision specified in regulation 3(1) or (3) [F1[F2or 3A(1)(a)]] may be extended where the conditions specified in the following provisions of this regulation are satisfied.
(2) An application for an extension of time shall be made by [F3[F4the relevant person,]] the claimant or a person acting on his behalf.
(3) An application shall—
(a)contain particulars of the grounds on which the extension of time is sought and shall contain sufficient details of the decision which it is sought to have revised to enable that decision to be identified; and
(b)be made within 13 months of the date of notification of the decision which it is sought to have revised[F5, but if the applicant has requested a statement of the reasons in accordance with [F6regulation 3ZA(3)(b) or] regulation 28(1)(b) the 13 month period shall be extended by—
(i)if the statement is provided within one month of the notification, an additional 14 days; or
(ii)if it is provided after the elapse of a period after the one month ends, the length of that period and an additional 14 days.]

(6) In determining whether it is reasonable to grant the application for an extension of time[F14, except in a case to which regulation 3ZA or 3B applies,] no account shall be taken of the following—
(a)that the applicant or any person acting for him was unaware of or misunderstood the law applicable to his case (including ignorance or misunderstanding of the time limits imposed by these Regulations); or
