As per the UKVI website, they still haven't abolished the PBS dependent transition route. If you follow the below link, it gives the 2 years transitional option to apply for SET(M) ILR,

Your wife will be applying FLR(M) application form. I would take it that she was a PBS dependent before July 2012, so she don't need to prove the income trash hold but she need to show that she can adequately maintain with out need for recourse to public funds. If you and her are both working than that could come handy as you could show some steady income, one more thing to notice here is that point based dependents before July 2012 can also show third party support, that family member back home have been sending you a certain amount just to help you, and all that adds up to make the application look good. You need to show your incomings and out goings, so you have to make the application look logical, means to say your incomings should be more than your out goings, hence showing that you have some savings and that you are left with enough money for the rainy days. I hope it all makes sense to you, but there is no set maintainance requirement as such.
Mind it your wife and you both would need to pass life in UK and English language test. I hope it helps.
Thanks.

Hi I think now after 6th April you have to prove Income as Law has been changed and PBS dependents are excluded from transitional arrangement. We have discussed in detail in last few days about it. So please check with senior pros here and with a good solicitor before you apply as if u dont show ur income they may refuse it and you loose your fee. Please see the following change you may argue but I have checked with few solicitors as well now PBS dependent cant take Transitional route for FLR (M) application. Have a look at change

Once they have abolished PBS dependent from Transition route then you have to go for 5 year route and full fill all the requirements. But please read follow Amber and vinny they have explained every thing in detail.[/quote]
