Dear Mr. Aex
Thank you for your email.
This case was referred to an Entry Clearance Officer and it was observed that the wrong endorsement was issued to you. Although your visa has a time limit, the indefinite leave to enter issued you takes precedence so you can remain in the United Kingdom on it and travel using this visa.
You are free to apply for naturalisation once you have been in the United Kingdom for the required length of time. In the interim, you may contact the Home Office to see if you can apply for a residence permit to enable you have a valid document to move around with.
Yours sincerely,
BK
