Dear friends,
I obtained my ILR via a Tier 1 (exceptional talent) visa after completing a three-year residential period. Now I am looking for options to apply for dependants ILR. Previously, I resided in the UK on Tier 5 (GAE).
Is it possible/eligible to apply dependent ILR later than combine the PBS dependent continuous residential periods obtained from Tier 5 (GAE) – Oct 2016 to Jun 2018 and current Ter 1 (exceptional talent) - starting from Aug 2018.
Please give me your suggestions.
Thank you
PR

If your dependant applied for visa before their Tier 5 Dep visa expired in Jun 2018 (in-time application), then yes you can combine periods from different PBS dependant routes together to make up 5y.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, our dependents applied to Tier 1 dependent visa before expiring (in time application) Tier 5 (GAE) dependent visa.
