Questions of SET(O) Form

I will be qualifying ILR by the end of the March with a combination of Tier 1(General) and Work Permit. My most recent permission to stay was granted under Tier 1(General). I'm trying to work out the SET(O) form but got a few questions hoping someone could help.

In 6.2 Absence, I have a total absence of 148 days with no single trip exceeds 30 days. It's a mix up of holidays (covered in annual leave) and project workshop. I wonder if I have to submit letters from my employer to prove this. I've seen people mentioning the letters but I can't find it's required anywhere in the form guidance or chapter 6 A- Settlement of Tier 1 Settlement Guidance. Does anyone have successful experience of not submitting the letter?

Also in 11L, it says in the form:

"For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules."

I've seen people asking about this and the answer seems to be providing payslips/p60, bank statements and WP letter for that period. Fortunately, I have p60 for all five years but I can't find the WP letter. Could anyone has been successfully granted ILR recently share what do they ask for this please? Many thanks in advance.

Are you planning to show previous Tier 1 scoring sheet. How many points you got and etc? or any other details you are providing?

I'm not planning to show previous Tier 1 scoring sheet as it's pretty much the same things that I will score on ILR. I will take all P60/Payslip and bank statements of that period with me. However, this still left me a bit unsure so I came here and hoping to find some assurance :)

What about you regarding to the absence section? Are you preparing a letter from your employer ?

Somebody suggested to show previous scoring sheet so I was asking though I feel its not required as HO should be having records!

I don't have absence/holiday problem. Though i am planning a letter from employer as I'm going to get paid in march for Jan,Feb month salary, just an explanation as why I didn't get paid(hoping that wouldn't be an issue).

UKBA is not interested in seeing previous Tier-1 approval letter. They have all that info in their system. From my experience the caseworker just gave HSMP and tier 1 approval letters back as she was not interested in seeing them. So be relaxed if you don't have these letters.
