Adress change and SAR prior to ILR based on 10 years

Hi all.
I'm planning to apply for an ILR in May and prior to that I'm thinking to get my SAR. My question is what should I do with the changes of my address between applying for my current visa in June 10 (PSW) and now. I moved twice after getting a PSW but haven't submitted any "Change of Circumastance". To be honest I completely forgot such a form until I checked the UKBA website for ILR. If I send my SAR request with my current address and a proof of the address, which is not on HO's recored, would there be any problems? Should I sent 2 Change of Circumastance to tell HO I've moved twice when I request for SAR, or before the request? What's the best thing to do in this situation.
I'd very much appereciate if someone could help me.
Many thanks.

PS. Excuse me if I'm posting my question under an incorrect category.

Even I wasn’t aware of this form until few weeks ago. I don’t think so UKBA expects people to tell them if their addresses have been changed.

But it’s nice to send them this form since now we are aware of it.

Hi linkers,

Thank you for your reply. I also thought they wouldn't. I have no problems sending 2 forms for my address changes. But My concern is if they think why I didn't tell them earlier (my first move was over a year and the second one is 6 months ago), giving them kind of negative impression. Do you think I'd have problems getting ILR, if I just send an SAR request with my new address and a proof without sending Change of Circumastance forms?

Anyone else could give me any advice please. Would I have problems getting ILR, if I just send an SAR request with my new address without sending Change of Circumastance forms? Could that be a general reason for refusal? If you think I should send the form, should I send two to tell past changes or just one for the latest change? Please advise I'm very nervous about getting ILR. Thanks in advance.

I don’t think so it would be a problem. As I told that not many people are aware of it.

But for your peace of mind, you can still send it for your current address as it wont do any harm.

Thanks for your reply linkers. I'm not sure which choice would give me a peace of mind. But your advice was very helpful, thanks again.

If you send your SAR request with one Proof of address and Passport copy then it will be enough.

Don't worry about of change of address...!!!!

They will send your SAR file on your new address and you can also make a request to chagne your address in their file....
