Combining category B and category F for FLR(M)

[ajj21]

My partner is a director of a specified limited company, company's CT600 timeline being July 2020-June 2021. I am a non-salaried employee in a non-specified company. Generally my income would have met the threshold, however, I was on leave for 3 months (Jul-Sept 2021) which is why under category A or B, only my income wouldn't satisfy the requirements. So, to reach the threshold, I am combining my partner's income+dividends as director under cat F. This automatically decides my income's timeline as July 2020 - June 2021 as well (please correct me if I am wrong). But during this timeline as I was not on leave, my income was 23k (above the threshold required to be met). My question is:

1. Which option do I select here:

What do they earn?
(Required)

The same amount continuously, above the financial requirement amount

The same amount continuously, below the financial requirement amount

Not the same amount continuously, above the financial requirement amount

Not the same amount continuously, below the financial requirement amount

Under cat B for myself, I would generally choose Not the same amount continuously, below the financial requirement amount for my non-salaried employment if I was just calculating the gross annualised income for the latest 6 months, however, to correspond with my partner's CT600 timeline, my calculated 23k income would now be ABOVE the financial requirement amount. What is the correct answer here?

If I am already saying, it is above the financial requirement there is no point also showing my partner's income. The answer will only be 'below' if I change the timeline selected but I cannot do that as long as I show my partner's income as director. I am in a predicament here.

2. The way I am reaching the 23k figure is by adding up all the pre-tax income during July 2020-June 2021. Is this correct?

3. What is the correct way to calculate the director income+dividends? Simple addition of all the figures earned during July 2020-June 2021?

4. Do we also need to show our payslips from July 2021-January 2022 to prove continued employment? In that case we would be submitting 18 months payslips.

Urgent help needed please! Thank you.
