As you can see, the PBS migrant applying at the same time as the dependant is a condition of his necessity to provide maintenance for himself in addition to his dependant. Otherwise, not necessary.(e) Where the Relevant Points Based System Migrant is applying for entry clearance or leave to remain at the same time as the applicant, the amount of funds available to the applicant must be in addition to the level of funds required separately of the Relevant Points Based System Migrant
[...]
(l) Where the application is one of a number of applications made at the same time as a partner or child of a Relevant Points Based System Migrant (as set out in paragraphs 319A and 319F) each applicant, including the Relevant Points Based System Migrant if applying at the same time, must have the total requisite funds specified in the relevant parts of appendices C and E.
Again you can see, the same conditional clause exists and the need for the PBS migrant to show maintenance for himself in addition to the PBS dependant, when the PBS dependant is not applying with the PBS migrant, is neither mentioned nor demanded. I understand there may have been a very small number of refusals cited on this forum, but they have been incorrect refusals by inept ECOs that were reversed on appeal. The guidance does not help as it seems to favour referring to applications made at the same time as the PBS migrant rather than made separately. However, paragraphs 43 and 46 do refer to applications made separately from the PBS migrant and those don't ask for the PBS migrant to provide proof of maintenance in addition to the applicant.(h) Where the application is made at the same time as applications by the partner or child of the applicant (such that the applicant is a Relevant Points Based System Migrant for the purposes of paragraph 319AA), each applicant must have the total requisite funds specified in the relevant parts of appendices C and E. If each applicant does not individually meet the requirements of appendices C and / or E, as appropriate, all the applications (the application by the Relevant Points Based System Migrant and applications as the partner or child of that relevant Points Based system Migrant) will be refused.
