Set(O) Section 6.3 - Evidence of absence

Hi

I assume "Evidence of absence" has been answered to various degrees in previous posts but I couldn't find a conclusive answer to it, hence my post (again).

This is my dilemma:
* all my absences over last 5 years (30 in total) have been personal (family visits); I was in continuous employment and I have never taken an unpaid leave. I do not have >180 days of continuous absences as well.
* my employer does not provide any details of personal leaves - I will not get a letter from my employer stating my specific dates of absence due to company policy.

What do I tick for Section 6.3 and what evidence do I provide?
* I believe I should not tick any boxes in Section 6.3 as none fit the bill for me.
* And I will write a separate cover letter and explain my absences (which are 100% personal). I can produce immigration stamps from passport as evidence.

Will the above work? Did anyone apply (and got approval) without ticking the boxes and with just a personal letter?

regards

You don't need any letters.

No evidence needed for personal travel. Just mention in the cover letter providing all your out of UK dates and the reason e.g. Personal travel
