Given that I am currently on maternity leave, both my partner and I were considering to go through the solicitor to avoid any risk. However, after going through this forum we decided to apply on our own as it looked simple and straight forward. Thanks to this forum and to all contributors.

Good to luck to all who are waiting for the decision :)

UPDATE: I've checked prove right to work website and it shows "there is no limit on how long you can stay in the UK". Does it mean it has been approved?

I didn't have an employer letter from the previous employer to support the absence as they had paper based approvals. I submitted a cover letter explaining the same. My out of UK days were 27 working days.
Do check the right to work status after two days of BRP submission. This changes first before you receive the decision email.
