ILR is a settled status with no restriction on the right of work/live and is not subject to immigration control.

i have found this in HM revenue website
What is 'immigration control'?
You are subject to 'immigration control' if any of the following apply:
the Home Office gives you permission to stay in the UK (known as ‘leave to enter or remain’) - but this permission is given to you on the grounds that you don't claim certain benefits, tax credits or housing help paid by the UK government (known as ‘no recourse to public funds’)
you need permission to stay in the UK - again known as ‘leave to enter or remain’ - but you don't have it
you have been refused permission to stay in the UK - but you have appealed against that decision and your appeal hasn’t been decided yet
you have been given permission to stay in the UK - but on the condition that someone else, like a friend, employer or relative (often called your 'sponsor'), supports you

This doesn't apply to Maxine as she has ILR
