Is Tier 2 General Dependent and PBS Dependent visa same category

[kumar84]

Dear All,

I was initially granted VISA under Type 'Tier 2 Partner' (Dependent of Tier 2 General visa).

Recently was issued new visa with Type 'PBS DEPENDANT' because of Employer change recently by Main applicant

Does both the visa type category mean the same and when I apply for ILR ( 5 years continuous stay) both the type of visa will be treated the same or do I need so spend 5 years under Type 'PBS DEPENDANT' ?

Thanks in advance!
