If senior members like @manci have mentioned some internal directive SOPRU 2022, it must be something and if its internal we will never see it, so it will always be a case of taking some risk.
Even then, if dependents don't apply and the UKVI's own advise is incorrect, dependents will get a 'leave curtailment letter' at some point 90-120 days after your application, giving them 60 days to sort out their visa or leave and then it will be absolutely certain that they need to apply and they can then apply.
Isn't that the case?

I have asked them to email me a written confirmation for this. The lady on the phone said she will get back to me by this Thursday. Will keep everyone posted.
Thanks
