Did you claim your point on education for bachelors/masters ? if you only have bachelors degree and claimed points for it then for sure they have considered rules after april 2010..( because this was the major change which came into effect after april 2010)

Though the rules were for after 6th April 2010, you had applied before that, and you do not have to prove anything for that. The day you posted your initial Tier 1 application to the HO is the date you applied, which is much before the change in Rules.
Also if you read the Attributed for General Tier 1 (second link in my previous post) points number 7 and 8, it will be clear that you have got your Visa before July 2010, hence you will need only 75 points. (actually you more or less fall under the same immigration rules which applied to you on your initial application, but for peace of mind the points 7 and 8 will give you a clear understand )
