https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... worker.pdfDue to major disruption to UKVI services during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tier 2
(General) and Skilled Worker applicants in the UK were permitted to start work for
their sponsors while waiting for decisions on their applications. This time while they
were waiting, but able to work, also counts towards the continuous 5-year period.
The applicant must have been in the UK with permission (including as a visitor or
with Exceptional Assurance), and the application must have been:
• for permission to stay
• made between 24 January 2020 and 30 June 2021 (inclusive)
• supported by a CoS on the date of application
• granted

I have a similar case and just have a question. You have submitted the application on 17/04/2020 but when did the work start according to the CoS? As you know, you can apply in 28 days before the 5 years but is the 28 days based on the date of submitting the application or the start date of the job as mentioned in the Cos (as we usually apply well before the start date)?
Thanks.
