Does Home Office accept Remain to leave in the expired foreign passport when applying for british citizenship?

Hello
The advice you be much appreciated, I am deaf so need to double and triple check everything.
To my horror, I just discovered today after checking online that since my residence permit (indefinite leave to remain in the UK) vignette is in the old expired passport, apparently, in 2014 Home office issued the rule that vignette in the expired passport is not proof of the right to work. Before this came into the effect somewhen in 2014, I was working at the university between 2012 and 2015 I was not aware of the changes in the rules. However, I have a letter from the Home Office confirming that I am granted indefinitely leave to remain in the UK. And I am also EU citizen so I just hope not to have problems, but you are never too sure.
To complicate things, I spent all last year on cancer treatment and did not work since 2016. In the online application, one section asks for my employment status and details of the organisation. As far as I understand, I currently receive ESA so I cannot give them the information about my employment. They also ask for the tax code. I presume my current tax code by HM Revenue and Customs that my jobcentre advisor can give me would suffice?
I was told by the local CAB to include a cover letter as a part of my application.
Many thanks in advance
Regards
