4.—(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 165A of the Social Security Act M1,, but subject to regulation 3(2) (persons affected by a trade dispute), in the case of a former beneficiary or a former housing benefit supplement recipient it shall not be a condition of entitlement to income support for a period commencing in the week beginning 11th April 1988 that he makes a claim for such benefit and the provisions of the Act and Regulations made thereunder shall apply, subject to the following provisions of this Part, as if a claim for that benefit had been duly made by the former beneficiary or the former housing benefit supplement recipient in respect of a period commencing on the first day of his second benefit week.
