I would say 7 months sounds long time. But some expert may help you. Could you not wait 4 months more as you will be eligible for ILR in September as you do not have any absence more than 3 months after Oct 2005.

Jazbaati is right
Any new visa stamp superceeds the previous one. Your workpermit is no longer valid. Your depended visa has superseeded your workpermit. Good point is now you can work for any company.

One can not apply ILR based upon combination of WP and Dependent visa stay. Your wife (and you as dependent) can apply ILR once she finishes 5 years on HSMP.

In UK you do not pay tax on redundancy so your payslip will show it clearly. If you have big and unusual amount on one of your payslip than case worker will be interested to investigate.
