PBS dependent ILR App date.

I got BC via ILR via Tier 2. My dependant wife is currently under PBS dependant and I would like to confirm if am right with the application date for her IRL so as not be make silly errors.

-- Visa/BRP timeline ----
A. Visa entry clearance visa was from 23/03/2018 - 01/04/18
B. Entered the UK on 28/03/2018
C. BRP valid from 27-02-2018

1. Would it be okay to use the option C for the app date which is (27-02-2018 + 5 years - 28 days) even though she is dependant i.e (27-02-2018 + 5 years - 28 days) = 30 January 2023?

2. Can she apply the BC immediately after IRL since am a BC or would have to wait for 1 year?

3. Can she write the B1 and Life in UK exam now in preparation for next year?

Thank you.

1. It is ok
2. Yes
3. Yes. Naturalisation has no English language requirements for people who got ILR after October 2013. LIUK is valid for life
