you have a valid COS (theoretically speaking) from 7th March till 7th June.
But new rules will come into force at the start of April when they will issue new Code of practice. It is HIGHLY likely that the current job title/soc code will not exist anymore (beyond 6th April), so when the caseworker will try to find the code (on your COS) , he/she wont be able to find it and as a aresult you will get the refusal.
So, you must apply before April 6th.
I personally dont know the situation regarding when the panel would meet to decide on applications received between now and 6th April. That is something you should find out for yourself.
