Main applicant and dependant currently in UK

Is it better to write covering letters seperately for main applicant and dependant?

Or can the main applicant include details of his/her dependant details and the proof of maintanenance in his/her covering letter itself?

Any suggestions mates?

If you want to stay in the United Kingdom for more than six months, we will normally ask a medical inspector to examine you. He may also want to carry, in his hand luggage, a recent chest X-ray or an acceptable medical certificate certifying that he is free of TB . Else, he may be subjected to a X-...
