Yes some people have been granted BC without waiting for a year after ILR. But this is based on discretion, so slight risk, if refusal you will lose your UKBA fee, and no other loss. If you can afford such a risk, try it. Make sure you point it out appropriately that you are asking UKBA use their discretion in regard to post ILR requirement of one year.

It's not based on discretion at all! If you have been in the UK legally for 3 years, have ILR and are married to a British national, you can apply.
