NARIC vs language test

Hi,
I am applying for ILR from Tier2 general and have a query on the documents to be submitted with respect to the knowledge of English language in the new online SET O form. I have taken the language test and want to submit this as the proof, however, after entering all the details, I reach the document page where I have to select the documents and it is not allowing me to proceed unless I tick all the boxes, which includes both
language test
NARIC

Has anyone filled this recently and how did you get past this issue.
As per the guidance, either of the two is required. I tried to search the forum but could not find any details around this.
Also, which documents are needed for the following section:
For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 2 migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules. For further information concerning the evidence required, please refer to the Tier 2 migrant policy guidance on our website
When we did our Tier 2, we provided the CoS, degree, bank statements and PBS, however, at this moment, I have only the old CoS and degree. Will this be sufficient, as I dont have the old bank statements and PBS is not applicable any more.

Thanks and regards

Set(O) online form inconsistencies

Hi,
I am filling the online form for ILR from Tier 2, and have noted some inconsistencies where it is forcing me to give wrong answers to proceed with respect to language requirements. Following is what I see in the form:

1. Question: is if my degree was taught in English?
It was, so I checked Yes.

Then it asks me the country and the query:
Does your degree meet the English language requirement for this visa?
As I could not get a letter from my university, I answered No for this question
Then it asks me if passed approved English test
I said yes to this and provided details.

Once this is done, I reach the documents page, the form has both options:
Language Test certificate
NARIC certificate
Here I checked the Language test and leave NARIC, but I am not able to proceed with the form as it is asking me to check all check boxes.

2. Now I went back to the form and answered No for the first question, it removed the NARIC option in the documents page and I am in a position to submit the form.

I am wondering if I should just proceed with the second option in the form. Has anyone else seen this issue?

Just an update on this, so I got my company contact to call Home office ILR department about the above issue with the form and they advised to just check NARIC checkbox (even though it is not required since I have the language test certificate) and proceed with form submission. They asked to explain this in a cover letter and were happy to to give their name as reference in the cover letter.
