Proving evidence for 10 year continuous living in the UK

[samWell1234]

Hello,

I'm applying for ILR on the 10-year route. I lost my passport after 8 months of being in the UK and I have a police report to prove that. I've asked the university provide me with a letter saying when I started my course and to confirm my attendance.

So my question is:
1. How do I prove that I landed in the UK(I have a photocopy of the original visa).
2. Should I provide evidence of conscious living from the date I got the police report to the date I received my new passport?

Thank you.
