ILR cohabitation query
We are applying for ILR based on 5 years of tier 2 general.
My wife is the main applicant and i am dependent partner. Applying at the same time.
My query is around cohabitation documents:
We have a joint bank account and water bill in joint names.
We are planning to provide 3 x yearly bank statements (2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022)
and multiple water bills covering the 2 year period.
Is that sufficient as evidence of cohabitation?
I can further provide both Driver's licenses at the same address, council tax bill (Single main applicant name), my P60 / salary slips etc
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated

There are no specific rules for this. ANY evidence over the last two years can be used

Thanks for the prompt response Zimba. So three bank statements in joint names and water bills in joint names covering 2 years would be sufficient? obviously marriage certs and other docs (licenses etc) would be sent
I was confused as i read that you needed 6 documents from 3 different sources.
Many thanks,
Ahsan

As I said there is no specific requirement. It is advisable to provide 6 pieces of evidence from 3 sources
