How the immigration calculates the Age points ?

I have a query on the eligibility of my Age. I am getting 75 points at present in the points based calculator, but I will loose 5 points after June 6th and my total points will be 70 only. I will be completing 35 years by June 7th 2010.
If I submit my Visa Application on 4th June 2010, how the Immigration will consider my points (70 or 75?)? I just want to clarify the date which they consider i.e., the date when I apply or the date when the application reaches them. If they do not consider my age the date when I apply, I'll not be eligible to apply for visa.

Date of application depends on where you are submitting the application - in UK or outside UK.

In the UK:
If sent by mail, then the date of posting.
If sent by courier, then date of receiving.

Outside UK:
Date of paying the application fee at VAC.

The date your application reaches home office is the starting date of your application not the date you put on the form.If your application gets to HO before your 35th birthday ,points for age will be awarded to you. Make sure your application gets there before your 35th birthday to enjoy that 5 points.Send your application by special delivery to prove that your application got to HO before your 35th birthday
