Mutate skilled trait for more perks?

[twillight]

Skilled gives +1 to perk rate. So you'd get a perk at 4, 8, 12.
Now what happens if I mutate it away (question on Mandy if you wanna know)?

Is there a difference if she gets Mutate! on lvl 9 in question when she'll get the the next perk? It'll be always at lvl 11 (or 12?)? Because if that's how it works I should wait with the mutation until the level before that for more skillpoint. Skillpoints are good.
Or must mutate the first possible occasion?

Currently play Redux so cant answer your question with hard test.

I suggest you get Bosche character editor and savegame editor.

Load the savegame. Check Mandy. Set her XP to 7999 or something right before level up. Play game. Has her tried to lock a door or a closed container. That should worth 15 XP and level her up. Check her progress.
