EXPLANATORY NOTE
Articles 2 and 3 of this order appoint 6th April 1987 for the coming into force of section 52 of the Social Security Act 1986 and Schedule 5 (adjudication) and also section 82 and Schedule 9 (amendments of enactments relating to social security in Northern Ireland). The bringing into operation of section 52 and Schedule 5 does not affect rights of appeal from decisions of social security appeal tribunals recorded in writing before the appointed day. Section 52 will have effect in relation to statutory maternity pay and social fund payments for maternity and funeral expenses on 6th April 1987 since those benefits are brought into existence on that day by the Social Security Act 1986 (Commencement No. 4) Order 1986 (S.I. 1986/1959) but it will have no practical effect in relation to income support and family credit until such benefits are brought into existence by a further order.
