Age calculation. Please help me

[gokul16]

Hello Guys,
Iam confused as to how age is calculated for Tier 1 General. I understand that anyone below 27 years is awarded 20 points. I was born in may 1982 technically I will be 27 years 9 months by the time i apply for tier 1 in Jan next year. Is this considered below 27 years or 28 years..? Your help will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Gokul.

The age limit is 28 not 27.

See the guidance notes for: Tier 1 (General) Policy Guidance page 15 of 49

Claiming Points – Initial Applications only

60. Applicants can claim points if they are under 32 years of age at the date of their application.

61. Points available are as follows:

Under 28 years of age: 20 points
28 or 29 years of age: 10 points
30 or 31 years of age: 5 points

62. The points can be claimed provided the applicant falls within the particular age band indicated above, on the date of their application.

I would say you will still be considered 27 yrs old atleast till you reach your next birthday i.e. 28th one....

Forum members can correct me if I am wrong.
