Is this a mistake in my application form?

[silentray]

Hi

I have submitted my application two weeks ago. However, I found there is possibly an error in it.

The previous earning table in question L7 asks me to list all the employers where I claim points from. My case is simple because I have only one employer.

In section L6, I declares I am claiming point for the period 01/02/2008 - 31/01/2009.

However, in L7, it asks me to fill "the details of employer; name of business etc and start/end dates for this source of earning".

What I filled is the start/end date I worked for this employer (01/07/2007 - 31/01/2009). (1 year 7 months)

However, I just realized that these dates should be the period in which I claim point from, i.e.: should match the dates I wrote in L6. Therefore, it should be (01/02/2008 - 31/01/2009).

How did you guys fill this section. Did I really make it wrong?

Do I need to send a errata for this?

Many thanks.

Section L6 where you filled the correct start - end dates of ur earnings should let the caseworker take the right dates though u did mistake of giving ur complete employment dates in L7...

I think it is understood.. if you still think u want to keep it safe.. i would recommend to send a letter to HO maybe fax them in detail about the mistake and ask them to consider the 01/02/2008 - 31/01/2009 dates as your earnings period dates..

wait for somebody who was in same position to give u more clear idea...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. What I am worrying is that:

In the table, I put my complete employment dates 01/07/2007 - 31/01/2009 (19 months), but I inputted my earning of the recent 12 months time. I am worrying that they could think the earning is for 19 months time rather than 12 months time.

Therefore, if they calculate like:
12 months salary / 19 * 12
then I will not have enough points.

However, the payslip I submitted are correct. If they will add up my monthly salaries, it should be fine. Will they do calculation for every application?

I undestand your concern.. but since you mentioned the 01/02/2008 - 31/01/2009 dates as your claiming period and also submitted the Payslps and bank statements for those period the caseworker should understand your situation than getting misunderstanding..

I also heard/read in the forum from ppl that they go and check each month's income on bank statements and tickmarked in few cases w.r.t to payslips salary numbers so you should be OK

But as i said wait for seniors or ppl in similar situtaions to comment/suggest on if it is better to send afax/letter to HO to clarify this...

Any ideas about what I should do? Should I send a letter to HO to clarify this?
