Hello,

Sorry if this is a repeatable query, but I am unclear. Does the countdown to BC begin FROM the date ILR is stamped in PP ? Or is it that ILR only starts from the end of current leave such as Tier 1/HSMP and then countdown if from the date this leave ends?

Many thanks for any responses,
Mona

Don't really understand the difference between the two.

I suggest your read this - FAQ - most common questions.

Thanks for reply. If I explain it better.

If Tier 1 due date is 20 July 2012. And ILR is obtained say 10 July 2012 then does appliation for BC becomes valid on 11 July 2013 or 21 July 2013. I assume that once ILR is issued a new countdown begins?

Your assumption is correct.

12 months from the ILR sticker/BRP date. In your example 10 July 2013.

Many thanks for clarification.
