the £800 maint. fund is for you only. You should have checked the guidance notes for the dependants...
as per Depandants Guidance notes prior to Apr 6 changes...
30. If the Tier 1 migrant (the main applicant) is outside the United Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom
for less than 12 months, the family member of the Tier 1 migrant must show that he/she, the main applicant, or (for children) his/her other parent who is also legally present in the United Kingdom has at least £1600 to support the family member in addition to any funds the main applicant needs to prove he/she has enough money to support himself/herself.
31. If the main applicant has been in the United Kingdom
for 12 months or more, the family member of the Tier 1 migrant must have £533 to support himself/herself.
For example, main applicant has been in the UK for 6 months, who is making an application at the same time as his spouse and two children must show that he has £1600 for his spouse and £1600 for each child, in addition to £800 required for his own support. In total the family will require evidence that they hold £5600 in available funds (£1600 x 3 = £4800 + £800).
32. If the same main applicant and his family had been present in the UK for two years, they would require evidence that they held £2399 (£533 x 3 = £1599 + £800) in available funds.

I applied for the extension last week. But I misunderstood the words from the UKBA website from different places and maintained the funds £800 from the starting. But I have applied for my dependants too. In the dependant area it is not clear as mentioned for the main applicant. I had maintained the funds for my dependants at the time of applying.
1. What will happen in this case?
2. Did I have to keep the money for my dependants as well for the 3 months period?
Can anyone advise please???
