I am using the new Set(o) form & have following queries.
1. Section 6.2 : i have checked my passport & there is no stamp(date) for outgoing journey(no date stamp in heathrow) though i have the date/stamp on destination country & on return to heathrow. Is this ok?
2. Section 6.3 : i am on tier1(hsmp 2yrs + tier1 3yrs) & have less than 100 days of absence, should i still fill section 6.3(get letter from employer)
3. Section 7.11 : How long have you lived in UK?(Yrs + Months) : should this period be the valid visa period(5 yrs, in my case 25/01/2008 - 25/01/2013) or from the date of first entry(20/02/2008). Also should we calculate the end date till end of visa(25/01/2013) or till my visa interview date(31/12/2012)
4. Section 9 : Points scoring assessment : Section D1 in this asks us to confirm whether we stayed continuos 5 yrs lawfully in UK.In my case as stated in quest 3 i have come 25 days late from the Visa start date, should i confirm this as Yes?
5. For Cohab documents i am submitting Council tax for last 4 years(has both my name & wife's name), Marriage certificate & Bank Statement of my Wife's from Aug 2009 till dec 2012. Is that ok, or should i need more documents?

your is a clear case better if you can provided the letter from employer ebut even if you dont have you should be fine as long as no single absense is more than 90days

No. start date is date of first entry in UK. last date is date of your application

up to 90days can be disregarded from the time of initial entry clearance and first entry as per the guidelines

You should be able to complete this to the best of your knowledge, using other means of validation, eg boarding passes, email ticket confirmations, etc.
2. Section 6.3 : i am on tier1(hsmp 2yrs + tier1 3yrs) & have less than 100 days of absence, should i still fill section 6.3(get letter from employer)
If the question applies to you, YES. Q 6.3 is not qualified with a absence duration or limit.
3. Section 7.11 : How long have you lived in UK?(Yrs + Months) : should this period be the valid visa period(5 yrs, in my case 25/01/2008 - 25/01/2013) or from the date of first entry(20/02/2008).

Thanks a lot for quick reply
I haven't understood section 6.3 still, sorry could you please explain once more. i have total of 81 days(4 trips totally) in the last 5 years & i am on Tier1 Visa, should i still get a letter from employer stating this absence.

Have got one more doubt, On going through the stamps in my passport i observed that the arrival stamp at netherlands was wrong. We departed UK on 18/06/2010(no stamp for this) & arrived netherlands same day 18/06/2010, but they have stamped it as 17/06/2010. Our Visa itself was valid only from 18/06/2010. I am quite nervous what to do now, can some one please help me out as i am going for PEO in a weeks time.

I managed to find ryanair's confirmation email of our tickets, will this be of any help?

Based on the applicable rules, (above posted/pasted), a personal statement letter should be sufficient.
