Awesome!! We'll submit an application and see what happens - will keep you posted! I'm a little disappointed in the advise that we received when we called the helpline as I did explain that my spouse had previously lived in the UK.

Make sure your wife is granted settled and not pre-settled status if she lived in the UK for more than five year even if that means providing additional evidence.
