Sec. 410.234  Interim provisions.

    (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subpart, a written 
request for benefits which is filed before January 31, 1972, and which 
meets the requirements of this subpart except for the filing of a 
prescribed application form, shall be considered a claim for benefits. 
Nevertheless, where a prescribed application form has not been filed, 
the Administration may require that such a form be completed and filed 
before adjudicating the claim. (See Sec. 410.240(a).)
    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, where (1) a 
request has been made before the effective date of this regulation that 
a claim for benefits be withdrawn and (2) such request has been approved 
(see Sec. 410.232), such claim may nevertheless be reinstated and 
adjudicated under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972 
(Pub. L. 92-303).
