F2(b). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(c)the day the claimant complies with the requirements of regulation 143,
and ending on the day before the claim is determined where [F3the sole reason for the delay] in determining the claim is that a question arises as to whether the claimant satisfies any of the conditions of entitlement specified in section 1(2)(a) to (c) [F4provided he satisfies the conditions of entitlement specified in paragraph (d)(ii) of subsection (2) of section 1.]
(3) An income-based jobseeker’s allowance shall be payable subject to paragraph (4) to a person in hardship even though payment to him of a jobseeker’s allowance has been suspended in accordance with regulations made by virtue of [F5section 21 of the Social Security Act 1998] (suspension of benefit) on the ground that a doubt has arisen as to whether he satisfies the requirements of section 1(2)(a) to (c) but the allowance shall be payable only if and for so long as the claimant satisfies the other conditions of entitlement to an income-based jobseeker’s allowance.
(4) An income-based jobseeker’s allowance shall not be payable in respect of the first 14 days of the period of suspension.
(5) An income-based jobseeker’s allowance shall be payable to a person in hardship even though [F6his award of jobseeker’s allowance has been reduced in accordance with section 19 or 19A or regulation 69B], but the allowance—
(a)shall not be payable under this paragraph in respect of the first 14 days of the period to which [F7the reduction] applies; and
(b)shall be payable thereafter only where the conditions of entitlement to an income-based jobseeker’s allowance are satisfied.
