Do you I need to prove my maintance funds

[tier1etier2g]

I have been in the Uk under tier 2 general visa with my dependents . All our visas are valid up to May-01-2019

Recently I have attend the interview and got selected to new sponsor. They are ready to sponsor me for better salary.

Now I am planning to choose one day premium visa to apply for tier 2 general visa to work for new sponsor.

Do my dependents also have to apply for tier 2 general visa.

I heard my dependents are not required to apply for tier 2 general visa along with me as their tier 2 general dependent visas are still valid till May-01-2019 - I went through guidance to find this point but I am not find any related to this in guidance.

Please provide me home office guidance link to prove this point / let us know if there is any one who applied already with out dependents under tier 2 general visa.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Its been seen on the forum that the dependents dont need to renew their visa once the main applicant changes.
Not everything is written down in rules. Sometimes, UKVi prefers to stay quite on certain things, this being one of them.

They are notoriously famous for giving wrong information.
To prove the above statement, ring them 2 times in quick succession, and you will get conflicting information each time.

See the quote from the PBS dependant guidance Page 8, Paragraph 32:

"32.If the main migrant changes employer or educational institution, and is therefore issued with a new
certificate of sponsorship and applying for leave to remain to work or study under their new
sponsor, dependants do not have to apply with them for leave to remain. Instead PBS dependants
can remain in the UK until the end of the validity period of their existing PBS dependant leave .
They can later apply for leave to remain to bring their leave in line with the leave of the PBS
migrant."

Do I need to still prove my maintenance funds even though my current visa is valid at the time of application
