Switch Tier 1 independent to ILR dependent within UK ?

[skum]

Hello,
Me and my husband both has tier 1 independent visa. Now I want to become his ILR dependent. My husband will apply for his ILR on march 2014. I am wondering - whether I need to become Tier 1 dependent first then apply along with him as ILR dependent.

I also read that a new rule is coming - that will allow to switch from other categories of visa to Dependent visa within UK - no need to return to country of origin to get entry clearance as dependent.

I am wondering - whether
1. Do I need to switch to Tier 1 dependent first to apply for ILR dependent?
2. If no, then does the new rule is applicable for ILR dependents also? That means I should be able to switch from tier 1 to ILR depedent within uk?

Please help.
