PBS Dependent maintenance 533 or 1600?

[kumardar]

I am on Tier 1 General. I am in UK during the below periods. Request anyone to please let me know what maintenance I need to show for dependent 533 or 1600 (as I am in UK for more than 12 months but not continuously in the last 12 months). I am applying for extension around end of this month

17/06/2010 to 04/09/2010 - Outside UK due to personal and work reasons
05/09/2010 to 30/11/2010 - was in UK
01/12/2010 to 11/05/2011 - Outside UK due to personal and work reasons

Shortest answer, £533 is what you need. It does not specify that you need to be in the UK for continuous period of last 12 months for the main applicant to be in the uk. However, if you could, do show £1600 to avoid any complications.
