Yes when I renewed my Tier 2(general) they didn't ask for English Test. However, this time I am going to apply for ILR. Your attachment was about working visas.
in below page it says:
https://www.gov.uk/english-language/app ... ifications
to apply for
citizenship: It does not matter if the B1 level test you took is not on the current list of recognised tests. You do not need to take another test.
to apply to
settle in UK: You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if both of the following are true:
1-it’s
on the current list of recognised
tests
2-it was accepted for another UK immigration application, for example when you got permission to enter
They could have say the same thing for settle but they didn't.
I cannot see "IELTS" on attached list:

I understand IELTS and IELTS for UKVI are effectively the same thing but when you want to book them they are not.
