Switiching from Tier 2 (Intra Company Transfer) to Tier1 Gen

[saisundeep]

Hi Folks,

Currently i am on Tier 2 (Intra Company Transfer) and switching to Tier1 General, i am consfused about the new rules which are applied from 6th April 2010, would they affect me i.e points calculations of previous earnings(they have increased the salary bracket), would I be considered under new rules or old rules?
Somebody told me as I am in UK and switching while remaining in UK i would be considered under old rules.
Please help me.

Thanks
Sundeep
