What is the confusion? just list them as year1, year 2, year 3 and so on...and list the number of days taken in each year.

If you scrawl through the ILR forum with patience, there are quite a handful of templates that people have used successfully that you may find.

Hi everyone,
I am appearing PEO on 29 April 2016 for ILR on Tier 1 general route.
Is it ok I show my 12 months income from 20th April 2015 to 20 April 2016.
Thx

20th May 2015 to 20th April 2016 is 12 months and is OK. April to April is 13 months, no problems in you submitting 13 months, but only 12 months will be considered.

That should be fine. I don't see any issues with it.

I had nearly 170 days absence over 5 years and I didn't provide any evidence for them. I simply gave the breakdown and left it at that.

Best wishes to you!
