You missed quoting the most important bit that precedes the text you have quoted from the statement of changes.

(v) be at least equal to the appropriate rate for the job as stated in the Codes of Practice in Appendix J; and





This information has already been published - for quite a few months now - as Appendix I in the immigration rules:

(1) at or above the appropriate rate for the job, as stated in the the Codes of Practice in Appendix J, or
(2) a gross annual salary of at least:
(_a) £35,000 if applying on or after 6 April 2016,
(_b) £35,500 if applying on or after 6 April 2018,
(_c) £35,800 if applying on or after 6 April 2019,
(_d) £36,200 if applying on or after 6 April 2020,

whichever is higher, where the appropriate rate or salary includes basic pay and allowances as set out in paragraph 79E or paragraph 100A of Appendix A.

OMG ! This is unfair

If some1 gets a extension and if he eligible for ILR before the leave expires
applicant shld match the SOC code salary at time or the threshold whichever is higher

He/She is not applying tier 2 to match SOC . I don't this is fair

Unfortunately, fairness is irrelevant with immigration...
