Hello, I would be obliged for some guidance.
a. We got our ILR on 20 Dec 2022. Are we eligible to submit our naturalisation application on 20 Dec 2023 or are we eligible to submit from 21 Dec 2023 onwards?
b. I assume the above will be the date of the application for purposes of calculating 5 year date to be in the UK?
c. Are we allowed to travel abroad while our application is being considered?

I wouldn't really cut it that fine, but 21 Dec onwards is ok.

Yes - it's not an immigration application

Yes, remember you need to make sure you were in the country the exact day 5 years prior (if you apply on the 21 Dec 2023 you need to have been in the country on the 22 Dec 2018
c. Are we allowed to travel abroad while our application is being considered?
Remember to review all the other requirements too
