HSMP extensions: any age of the English test is good!

I've just received a reply from Work Permits UK to my question on whether my IELTS test that I sat in 2004 is still acceptable. Note that when they first introduced English Language requirement for HSMP they were accepting only IELTS and only up to 2 years old for new applications and any age for extensions. I was good as I had my 2004 IELTS. Later they removed this exception for extensions and required only the valid IELTS certificate (that is no older than 2 years) for both extensions and new applications. I specifically called them and asked.

Now the good news is, now that Tier system is officially fully live, the English Language requirements have changed again. They now accept a whole bunch of various tests but the best news is, quoting

Please Note: All approved English language tests meet the requirements regardless of the date of the award.
Note: an IELTS test result can be more than 2 years old.

Whoohoo! I better apply for extension fast before they change their minds. However I'll have to wait until Polina's birth certificate is ready to apply for her passport and only then apply for Tier 1. Anyway, congratulations to you all, HSMP people!
