I have got my indefinite Leave to remain from discreational Leave in March last year and I am due to apply for citizenship next month. Please what documents do I need to apply for citizenship. I was part of the legacy case granted discreational leave in 2013.

What was your immigration status before 2013?
Based on your earlier
ILR thread, your legal residence in the UK only started in 2013.
One of the requirements for naturalisation is that you are of good character, including the requirement that you not be illegally resident in the UK at any time in the
ten years before the date of the naturalisation application.
As it appears from the thread above that you were illegally resident in the UK before the grant of DL in 2013, I'd say that your naturalisation application is quite likely to fail. You may be better off applying on or after the 10th anniversary of the grant of your DL in 2013.
