Use the visa expiry date.
It is only the BRP card that expired in December.

Thank you! Of course that makes sense haha.
We’re looking at doing our own ILR this time as solicitor fees have shot up. My husbands ILR isn’t due till May but I thought I’d get ahead of the evidence today. Here’s where I am with cohabitation evidence, does this seem sufficient so far?
I have yet to add to this car insurance and any bills between now and April.
With everything being online/ quarterly, I’ve tried to keep what I can over the last 2.5 years
Also, on 6 Nov 22 we moved address after FLRM expired on 26 October 22. Should I include some sort of proof of address for the month of October-22?

Thanks Zimba, that was helpful to read. Two questions:
Is it 3
different sources per year
And
If I use the one source in Year 1 can I use same for Year 2 ie water bill in year 1 and then same in year 2?
Or do they not go into such detail?

The immigration rules do not mention anything regarding the cohabitation evidence.
You are advised to send at least 3 pieces of evidence from 3 sources per year, so at least 6 pieces of evidence are needed. ANY document or evidence can be used like utility bills, council tax, bank statements, mortgage documents, tenancy agreements, etc
READ the advice given !
