Many posts have said that as long as the amount is declared in salary slip, you can claim it. But your tax doc and sal slip has to match one to one till the last digit for to be sure to claim the point. I have read cases where there was some few pounds different and CW rejected. Best way to come out...

I have read this forum, some people say it is 3 years when you apply first extension and some say 4 years when you apply for first extension. Which is true, when you apply for hsmp extension, do they give for 4 years or 3 years?

So herts...nothing is a silly/stupid question. unless u r sure...dont comment and make comic of yourself.

If I get 20 points for age when I am 26 years old, when applying HSMP first time, will I get the same 20 points when I am 28 years old at the time of applying hsmp extension after 2 years?

Does this mean I cannot apply for ILR i I am in workpermit with past HSMP periods? IS it only HSMP holders who can apply for ILR with thier past WP/innovator periods?
