My premium appointment is on June 26. Can you help me get my house in order? Here's what I have, along with what I need help with:
"Unique" things about our application:
My spouse is disabled and unemployed. We are applying with an exemption from the financial requirement because my spouse receives Personal Independence Payment. They are trans non-binary and changed their name through deed poll, so I'm including their birth certificate and name change document, at the advice of someone else on this forum, regarding trans partners.
My visa is a Tier 5 Temporary Worker Charity Migrant visa. I've come the the UK on 5 visas throughout my life, in 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. I put in the application that I first entered the UK, that I have lived in the UK for 4 years, 10 months, and then explained that I was gone for 3 years because I left when my first visa ended. I expect to be called up to explain this. It's not false, it's just the best way I could describe it within the form.
FLR (M) Form, filled out, but do I need to include the Payment Guidance and Payment Details if I have paid for the application, IHS, and appointment online? In what order should the following receipts go:
Appointment Booking Checklist
Payment confirmation receipt for 1643.00 GBP printed from Gov.uk website
Payment confirmation email for application
Completion confirmation email for Immigration health surcharge with reference number
Payment confirmation email for Immigration health surcharge
The rest of the application form
*2 passport photos of me
*1 passport photo of my spouse

*My spouse's Housing Benefit letter from council with weekly rate
*Letter from my sponsor/employer confirming my length of employment, explanation of what I receive (room, board, and living allowance) confirming my annual allowance, my monthly allowance, and how long I have been paid at this rate. The letter also provides explanation for why I appear to live both at the housing provided for me and with my spouse. The letter also confirms the authenticity of my payslips
*7 payslips going back to November (I know only 6 are needed, but the last one had a screwup when they tried to put my new address on it, so the address is wrong, and I was worried it wouldn't count)
*2 bank statements from our joint account, going back to January when I joined the account, confirming both my salary going into the count and our shared address
*3 bank statements from my individual account, going back to November when the payslips are dated, to confirm the salary going into my account and acting as confirmation of my address
*Tenancy Agreement
*letter from estate agent confirming my tenancy and the date I signed the lease (they kind of yanked us around, LOST our tenancy agreement when they sent it overseas for the landlord to sign, until we marched into the office to demand a copy, so I wanted to make double sure that I have proof here)
*2 water bills with both our names on it as evidence of our shared address
*Dentist appointment letter addressed to me
*GP Record with my name and address
*Letter from hospital with spouse's name and address
*Letter from Job Centre Plus with spouse's name and address
Copies
*Full copies of both my passports (annoying that my current passport has 51 pages! I renewed it from the UK and didn't ask for the extra pages!)
*Copy of photo page of spouse's passport
*Copy of BRP card
*Copies of all additional documents (for the Tenancy Agreement, I just copied the *first page with our names listed and the pages that we both signed)
I'm taking the following things with me just in case but not including them in the application:
