This is not based on demand. it is as per case
It is very unfortunate because your ILR application will get delayd for that time.
In itaza's case he will apply for his ILR in dec instead of July while his initial approval was in july.
I hope this will help you.

Status : Visa Approved till December 2012
My initial visa was going to expire on 4th July 2004. I was granted 3.5 years extension not 3 years. The reason for this is that I got my initial visa on 4th July 2007 but I came to the UK in December 2007. So they have given me a Visa till December 2012.
I wanted to know,if you had put in a request for Visa extended till December 2012,in a cover letter.Or is it that,they just saw your case and stamped till December. I'm in a similar situation,but I haven't requested for this in the cover letter.
