Photocopy of all documents SET(O) - T1 dependent

[t1s2010]

First, my case - I am a british citizen via T1(G) - 5 year route now. My spouse is on T1(G) - dependent from Feb-2013. Spouse is in full time employment (essentially NI every month).

1. I should use SET(O) form as spouse is PBS dependent. Is that correct?

2. Spouse current extension started May-2015. Does "maximum two year" cohabitation proof applies as in SET(o) farm section 12.A OR I need to prove cohabitation from May-2015?

3. How much of cohabitation proof documentation is required? I don't want to overdo it as my spouse is paying NI every month anyway and UKVI has access to HMRC record. I just want to submit a minimum set easily available with me (if it works).

1. Set(O) yes. She is the main applicant.

2. The 2 years preceding date of application.

3. Ideally 6 items in joint names spread evening over the period, every 3 to 4 months.

I am preparing for T1 dependent ILR.

Somewhere on forum, I read that I need to have photocopy set of document as well.

If true, do I need to photocopy all the "cohabitation documents" which are essentially payslips, insurance letters, general letters etc?

[CR001]

Applying in person, copies yes.

Applying by post, no.

Thank you CR001

There is no minimum fund requirements for ILR application for dependent as I understand.
SET(O) still asks about "your finances".

Does it mean I need to carry three months of bank statement with me?
Does it need to be from two sources i.e. payslips + bank statement combined?
