Dear Immigration gurus,
Apologies for asking this question again as I had previously asked it and vinny had kindly answered it but it was 6 months ago so I am confirming in case the guidance has changed.
Can a NARIC ELA and SOC letter issued in 2016 for a Tier 2 General application be reused for ILR application under the Set O route? I also have the degree certificate and transcript. Many Thanks in advance

Guidance has not changed besides the name post Brexit so what you have can still be used.

Thanks AmazonianX for your reply. This is how I have filled the form. would this be sufficient if I supply the NARIC ELA, SOC, Degree certificate and Transcript? Many thanks for your help

It is good. UKVI may request additional evidence if they see fit

Thanks Zimba for the reply. Just one additional question. The checklist asked me to upload the latest payslip which was for the month of December.
However my bank statements are only generated monthly So the last available statement I have is 25th November. The latest bank statement on 25th December is now generated and I should the paper copy tomorrow (already have the digital copy)
I had a salary credit in my november bank statement but its not the same month as the payslip. Will this create an issue? I have already submitted my documents but can I take the latest bank statements to my appointment on thursday to get added.
Also , will my rental agreement copy be needed? It was not part of the checklist? Many thanks for your help

Evidence can be the latest or latest based on the date of application. NO need for rental agreement unless you have a dependant

Thank you Zimba! I have dependents but they are not applying ILR with me as they are not eligible yet.
So the rental agreement is not needed right? I will still carry it with me to biometrics but the ukvcas site doesnt let me upload any more documents
