Caseworker are not experts and they likely will consider both statements are one source as they are from the same bank.
You can provide council tax bill with both you and your wife name on it, as the other source.

why is this even an issue of concern ?????
you have to provide so many documents ... the total source is always going to be more than 3 ...if you cant manage more than three sources then you have very impossible narrow life...you have many different utility bills council bills bank statements government based documents (tax office etc) letters even immigration letters.. .....so much..
yes it is safe and best to assume that all barclays documents is one source even though they say its a different company.
Hope this helps
Good luck

Ahhh the front office staff - amazing creatures! It is not a separate or different company, it is merely a separate entity belonging to the same Banking Group, those buffoons should know better. Anyhow, this doesn't help you as caseworkers are as moronic as those front office staff - they will definitely treat as the same company / source
can some body explain this ?

Hi,
How many u need? I believe 3?
How about
1. Bank statemnets
2. phone bills/utility bills
3. Same doctor/ surgery. Letter from doctor
4. DVLA. Even if u both hold provisional, it will serve the purpose
5. Lease agreement. u can get it redrafted.
6. Council tax with both of ur names
7. Old HO reference letters
8.Electoral office letter
I have not gone through it and obviously seniors can advise better.

TV license usually has the name and address and the “Valid Until” date on it.
So it runs for 12 months.
Is it still valid?
I am not sure if the document should be valid or old but given it has the valid until date its understood it runs for 12 months

tv license im using was valid until which was 30-sep-2018 , however i have renewed after that as well , but i need cohabitation for sep-oct 2017 and this is only doccument i have for those months.
bank statements , nhs letter etc dont have any expiry date , in same way we can use tv license as well i think.

can i get a letter from my GP for cohabitation proof which states that :
This is to confirm that Mr. ABC & Mrs. XYZ resident of AAAAABBBBBCCCCC has been registered at DEF HEALTH CENTRE since 01-Feb-2016 and are still registered at this surgery.
does this satisfy cohabitation requirement ?
i have cohabitation letter from other sources as below :
JAN-FEB 2017 HOME OFFICE DOCCUMENTS ME , MY WIFE
APR 2017 NHS LETTER MY WIFE
BANK STATEMENT ME
SEP2017 TV LICENSE ME
SKY BILL MY WIFE
JAN2018 CREDIT CARD STATEMENT ME
BANK STATEMENT MY WIFE
MAY 2018 EDF LETTER ( NOT UTILITY BILL ) JOINT NAME
OCT 2018 EDF UTILITY BILL JOINT NAME
does above fulfill my requirement or do i get letter from GP for cohabitation ?

You need to prove english at level B1 for your ILR:

Also, dont forget Life in UK
Wait for someone else to confirm if you still can use the cyprus degree and letter

what is impact on ILR if you can not provide UK NARIC EQUIVALENCE ?
what does policy guidance say about this ?
Re: some questions while filling set o online form

You need NARIC red route OR English B1 test. You don't need both.
If you dont submit anything, you risk a refusal.

actually in 2014 when i applied for tier 2 General i applied for NARIC equivalence but due to some reason NARIC refused to provide me EQUIVALENCE.
to fullfill that NARIC EQUIVALENCE i provided a letter from my institute stating that my MEDIUM OF instruction was ENGLISH.
IN 2013 I also did IELTS GENERAL TRAINING , i also attached that with my application.
in 2017 at time of extension i did not provide any ENGLISH LANGUAGE proof and i got extension.
now i am eligible for ILR from 26-jan-2019 , while filling SET O if i
use my degree as ENGLISH LANGUAGE i have to present NARIC EQUIVALENCE + COLLEGE LETTER ( but NARIC refused me in 2014 so i can not get NARIC equivalence )
i did IELTS IN 2013 , i have that ....... will that be valid still ??
i can also do TRINITY COLLEGE B1 exam now ?
what experts suggest ?

If it had any impact you would not be in UK right now. You got a visa and you are here.
You should declare it and be truthful though.
