Such letters should not be more than 2 years old. This is from 39 of the SET(O) Form:
If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years). Evidence provided should cover the whole period and be in the form of official letters or documents, addressed to yourself and your spouse.
regards,

Oh yes, very much. Home Office Letters fall in the category of "Official Letters"

You can include anything that has your name and address...even junk mail if you're desperate for proof. It doesn't have to be only official letters.

Thanks for your reply Push

I need one more help.

My SET(O) form was correct and free paid was correct when applied on 03 March 2012. Acknowledgement letter received and payment deducted, but I have got little problem which I realised later

When the new SET (O) VERSION 02/2012 forms were available on Home office website there was wrong information on the form and hence I completely missed SECTION 10. The below is the detail explanation.

After completing section 9 E1 the directive instructs to go to section 11 - documents. This was a WRONG information in SET (O) form VERSION 02/2012 I believe section 10 – Biometrics is a mandatory section for all applicants and hence I have filled out missed Section 10 and have attached with the letter on 15 March 2012 and sent via special delivery to LIVERPOOLE office with below details as its says in The ILR Guidance Notes

think one can supply more information even after applying. So if you think there is some correction required then one can inform UKBA after application.

17 CONTACTING US AFTER YOU HAVE APPLIED

If you need to contact us after you have applied, please do so as follows.
To send us more information about your application, write to the following address (not the one to which you posted your application):

UK Border Agency
Liverpool Settlement Casework
PO Box 306
Liverpool

and give the following details in your letter:
- the applicant’s full name, date of birth and nationality
- any Recorded or Special Delivery number
- the date on which the application was posted, made
in person or delivered by courier
- the Home Office reference number if you have one.

Pls can you advise if it is correct course of action of do I need to do something else. I am still waiting for Biometric appointment letter.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
