points for age - initial vs extension

Post by imprezasti » Fri Mar 25, 2011 3:52 pm

I have a funny feeling there isn't enough clarity on whether extensions are assessed based on current age or the age one had at a point of the initial application. From what I understand, if, say, one got 20 points for age in their initial apppication, the same 20 points will be given automatically during extension...? The heading in table 2 is making me doubt myself...


Gurus- what's your views?

So i take one will always get the same points for age as when initially applied...

Why on Earth do we then get a million posts a minute with people shouting they are about to loose their age points.......?

I came here as a student which I had converted into Tier1 (Post Study Work) and then converted PSW to Tier 1 (General)
My question is when I';ll apply for the Tier 1(general) extension,
which is going to be my *First* grant of leave for the age points?? is it going to be PSW or Tier 1 General??
Select age band as per your age on the day you applied for Tier 1 (General).
