From that article:-

......
She has since taken the ‘correct’ exam, but the Home Office has refused to change its original decision......

A spokesman for qualification provider NOCN said Mrs Doidge completed an Entry 1 Functional Skills test, which is not recognised by Home Office requirements for UK citizenship.

Not clear what visa she actually holds

The article intimates she was going for Citizenship (maybe they mean ILR ??)

Well it states she lived with him in Plymouth since 2008. If she had a settlement visa then she could have applied for ILR sometime in 2010. Obviously she couldn't have or she wouldn't be in this mess, so maybe she couldn't pass 'The Life in UK Test' and applied for FLR in 2010, got that for 2 yrs and the same again in 2012 (but just before the English Language Test was required). That would take her to 2014 and she's now in trouble because she has taken the wrong English Language test or maybe she couldn't pass it before.

Or maybe she was on a 5-yr Work Permit. Can't see that thou' seeing they've been married 7 yrs.
