Hi,

As i understand From page 28, question H3 you are sent to Question H4 if you select Tier 1 General in Question H3.

you are sent to H5 only if you (Primary applicant ) are applying under Tier 2.

for Tier 1 , from Question H4 next Question is J1 which is maintenance fund.

This is very good news

When you enter the HSMP you shold enjoye the commitment made at the entrance not the current !!

How about the age points you lose at extension ? when you are young you are given more points !! when you are 34 (after entring the UK on HSMP at age 30) you don't get any points.
