ILR Photocopies and cohabitation letters doubt

Hello everyone
Spouse visa 11/08/2010
Expiring 08/2012

I'm in doubt about the photocopies.
I know I have to send the copies of all documents but I am not sure if I need to send the copies of statements, payslips and letters for example.
My husband is a British Citizen, he didn't want to change bills and we have separated bank accounts.
I am sending gas, water, council tax, virgin midia letters in his name spreaded during the 2 years. In my name I have the 2 years statements, orange bills, 1 NHS letter, 1 Home Office letter. in both names we just have 1 insurance letter, 1 thank you letter we participate in a governement survey and a receit from a holiday together on the Broads.
I am really afraid it won't be enough, I am applying by post.
We will write a cover letter explaining why we don't have bills in both of our names, he is very independent and just didn't want to change anything. He's is very laid back and is saying everything will be fine but I am almost having a nervous break down...
I believe finances won't be a problem, I wasn't work for a while but he works for a company for 20 years and earns more than £40.000 and pays mortgage.
Could any of you give me some light and guidance please, I really appreciate that.
Thank you

Bella

Hi,

Do you have your GP registration letter or any other NHS letters? These come in pretty handy I understand.
Alternately, you could ask the GP to attest a letter for you stating that you've been at the address for X numbe rof months or years and the date of your registration at the practise.

Thank you for your answer!

I've got a NHS registration letter with the card with my married surname. I am just afraid because by tomorrow I just have 20 days to apply and I don't know if will be too late. If not, I can call my GP but I don't know if they can give me letters from the previous year. I just had 3 appointments in 2 years.

If you have the original letter from the GP for your current address with a date in the last two years that will count as a valid type of cohabitation document as well.
So along with the rest of the bank statements and other bills seems like you are fine.
