Advise needed for proof of living, passport gap between old and renewed

Hi,

My partner is applying for Naturalisation on basis of 5 years as she got ILR on 10 years basis in Nov 2019.

Problem:

Her passport was expired in November 2019. She didn't renew until December 2021. Her 5 years qualifying period is from September 2017. Application is submitted on 12 September 2022. Everything is uploaded on IDV app but doesnt know what to do with this gap.

Can she submit all documents with this gap of 2 years plus?
If not can she submit Universal Credit statements starting from January 2020 to December 2021 but after August 2021 she was getting nothing and statements stated £0 as our both earnings were more and our claim closed after this.

All other things are done but stuck on this. Any advise will be helpful for us.

Thanks.

UC statements will be fine, the amount awarded doesn't matter, and once partner was in work P60 or pay slips for the remainder is also fine.
Are you a British citizen and partner married to you? Not sure of your statement " basis of 5 years as she got ILR on 10 years basis in Nov 2019" - the five years basis has nothing to do with the path to ILR. If married to you she can apply on 3 years basis.

Thanks @alterhase58 for your reply.

I am not British Citizen and currently on FLR FP 10 years parent route initially then changed to partner route after she got ILR and on my first extension by UKVI but still on 10 years route and not registered our marriage yet here in UK as we met here. She got ILR on 10 years basis as she was on student visa for 10 years.

I will upload Universal credit statements but 2 months of December 2019 and January 2020 will be left and and few days of November as her passport was expired on 23 November 2019 (Correction: I checked Universal credit account and statements start from 19 February 2020. In my first post I mentioned starting from January 2020). Will this be fine, if not then what shall be uploaded as proof of living for those 2 missing months plus few days of November 2019?

As application has been submitted. Can I make cover letter and upload along with these statements.

Thanks

You can also use council tax if it's in her name. Good luck.
