Basic query(s) related to ILR

Hi Everyone

I had two basic query(s) related to ILR on basis on 10 years continuous legal stay in the UK.

These query(s) may have already been raised by someone in the past on the forum but as I intend submitting my application this coming Monday, I would appreciate if someone could please answer these query(s).

1. While calculating the days spent outside the UK in any given year, do the day of departure from the UK and day of arrival in the UK also taken into account while calculating the total duration i.e. time spent outside the UK?

2. If I intend making payment of £820 by cheque to the Home Office, cheque has to be drawn in favour of 'Home Office' or 'Home Office - Leave to Remain' while sending the cheque along with Form Set (O) for 10 years continuous legal stay ILR?

Exclude day of departure and arrival from the count (of absences).

Clearly mentioned in the SET(O) form.
