I aged between invitation to apply and application— am I screwed?

I applied for FSW EE, and got the invitation to apply. I have aged and am now under the minimum for my group. Do I have to decline the invitation?

AOR Received.

Your score locks in at AOR, but there's this exemption clause that says if your score fell solely because you had a birthday between ITA and AOR, you are exempt from refusal. Check this out:
