Not necessary...
You can address the letter "TO whom so ever it may concern"
it won't create any issues...

I have done it in the past and will be doing again for my ILR in a month's time

You could ignore your date of Exit and date of Entry.. That's what I did. CW did not ask me any questions. Why don't you do an Excel sheet and support it with employer's letter.CW appreciated what I did.

Please confirm
In SET O form, Section 6, Point 6.2
"give the dates you left and returned to the UK"

From this description, at least on the form the entry and exit dates should be mentioned.

You have to enter dates of Exit/Entry on the Form. But when you are calculating the total days of absence do't include these days,on each absence from uk.

Hi I would be applying for ILR this year under new rule change after 06th April 2013.

My bg( 2 year on WP(work permit) and 3year(Tier 1) currently hold it.

My questions are regarding absences of leave from UK.

1) Do i need a letter from my previous company that is when i was working on WP for this and dose that letter mentioned the salary paid to me ?
Also what are implication if could not get it for any reason like in my case its 3 year back and if they didn't hold that record now?

2) Do i need provide a same letter for when i was working on Tier 1 self employed if so is it need on my company letter head or just simple letter is enough?

3) One confusion i have is i have traveled outside uk over the weekend and came in before Monday do i need to get this in letter as it is not absences from work but yes out of UK ?

Also if some one can provide a template in both case (WP) and Tier 1 is most appreciated thanks in advance.
