My dependent arrived on 1st aug 2010 as a Tier 4 dependent stayed as dependent until i got ILR on 26-09-2013 after 10 years long stay (SET O application that time for LR). since her visa was expiring we applied on 10th aug 2013 to link her with FLR(M). which was given on 29-10-2013 for 2.5 years (spouse/partner leave to remain).
'Consideration has been given under the Immigration Rules Appendix FM paragraph R-LTRP.1.1 (a), (b) and (c) Requirements for limited leave to remain as a partner.you have been granted immigration rules under D-LTRP.1.1 of Appendix FM'
she qualified under paragraph 4.5

PBs dependents husband who received ILR under Lresidence before 2014.
Undfortunately, she had an stroke just before she was due to give life in the uk test in 2016 feb. and we were forced apply under FLR (FP) to continue her visa. which was given on 23 sep 2016. 30 months under para D-LTRP1.2 of appendix FM. wrote u may be eligible to apply for settlement after completing 10 yr under this route.
my solicitor told me she can no longer apply to settle under under FLR(M) as her route switched to 10- year FLR FP.
my question is how can i switch to FLR (M) under transitional arrangements for part 8 family member without showing the earnings requirements which we were not required to show that time.
we have a british born daughter and i claim part benefit as she is unable to work..
