Did you send them your three different proof of address of each year? If you already sent them you can resend the same proof of address with different DATES on them.

Sent in the proofs for each year aswell as the 3 proofs for 3 months prior to application!then passports returned and they looked for 3 proofs again for 3 months prior plus a letter from employer which they received already so in all I sent back 5 different proofs and still want more!!it's frustrating 😏😏

They are asking for almost everyone once they receive individual application. I know its annoying to keep asking the same doc which they have them already. You better get a fresh letter from your work and produce three different POA in fresh dates and write a letter to explain that you have send these documents already. When i applied they were looking for only GNIB copy again so i wrote a letter along a copy of Gnib.
Idk if this is their new policy or people are working there not paying enough attention when they go through all the documents .
