he was telling about the GAP between 2014 to 2015, not at the moment, so obviously his wife would be working at the moment. regarding settled status for EU nationals as per policy paper issued by UK, on 25th June 2017, its written they will start settled status by 2018, also in the recent talks all the EU nationals who has PR they don't need to reapply for settled status as UK wanted before.
There is a general ban on getting a visa within a fixed time of illegal working being discovered. Fortunately, this does not apply for family member visas, and I would expect the same rule to apply come Brexit.
As for the continuing validity of PR, look at the UK position in Item 27 on p10 in the
September position report. It says
Streamlined process and reduced or no costs for current holders of permanent residence documents to exchange for updated UK documentation. This will simply entail verification of ID, a criminality check and confirmation of ongoing residence, in recognition of the fact that they have already been through a process assessing their qualifying residence period.
That second sentence is almost merely a concession to common sense, except for the apparent position that renewing permanent residence cards currently appears, according to the modernised guidance, to require a re-evaluation of whether permanent residence has indeed been acquired. The EEA Regulations state that a permanent residence card is evidence that permanent residence has been achieved. The offered UK position appears merely to accept that the evidence should not be routinely challenged.
It looks from Item 20 as though the withdrawal agreement will not contain the concessions on the requirements for settled status that the June position paper offered. Of course, that does not prevent the HO from making those concessions.
