I did not put a tick in that section and I did not submit any letters when I did mine last month successfully and no letter was asked for. Best to carry one written by yourself just in case you are asked. Lots of other post here where they did the same and was successful.

Yes once it meets the points

Put the address of your bank and the HR/Payroll department that did your payslip along with address.

No Maintenance fund is required and the LIUK test has no expiration date.
