Viisas & Citizenship/Re Working on ILR Application

Submitted online ILR application last month now getting ready for document scanning etc on Monday and have last minute jitters (again).

We are applying for Husband's ILR using SET M  and Category E  income from pensions. Is it sufficient to supply the annual notification letters from the Social Security Administration and/or British Department of Works and Pensions along with a recent bank statement(s) showing deposit of said pensions or do I need to gather bank statements for the past six months or 2.3 years.  In past years I have gathered all the individual statements but realize that was probably overkill?

Thank you for your time and expertise

Larrabee, thank you  so much for your really prompt reply.  I don't know why it took me so long to realize that I didn't need bank statements for all the months - I am always telling people that I am not stupid just slow - yet again this proves it.....  Thanks again

Best of luck with the application!
