Who is exempt from the Financial Requirement £18,600 for a UK visa as a spouse of a UK citizen?

Our favourite expression is “the answer is in the Rules”. And it is, in this case in the Appendix FM: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-rules-appendix-fm  In Family life with a partner, then Section EC-P: Entry clearance as a partner, Section E-ECP: Eligibility for entry clearance as a partner, then in Financial requirements.

In this case a list of those who are exempt will be in the below paragraphs:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-ECP.3.3...

(a) the applicant's partner must be receiving one or more of the following -

(i) disability living allowance; (ii) severe disablement allowance; (iii) industrial injury disablement benefit; (iv) attendance allowance; (v) carer's allowance; (vi) personal independence payment; (vii) Armed Forces Independence Payment or Guaranteed Income Payment under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme; or (viii) Constant Attendance Allowance, Mobility Supplement or War Disablement Pension under the War Pensions Scheme;...
