This means the 1942 regulations are treated as if they stopped applying from that earlier date.\n*   **Wartime powers:** It was made under the *National Security Act 1939–1943*, which gave the government emergency powers during World War II.\n\n**Who it affects:** Primarily relevant to World War II veterans, war widows, and their dependents who were covered by the 1942 regulations.
