As you sat the test before October 2013 you will need to retake B1 level English from an UKVI approved test provider.

Also:
What if my passport is held by the Home
Office and I don’t have a valid Biometric
Residence Permit or EU Identity Card?
You should contact the Home Office to request
the return of your passport. If you have, or you
are given, a photocopy of your passport the test
centre will not allow you to sit the test.

HI, Casa. Could you gives me a link to proof that ielts test sat before oct 2013 isn't valid anymore.

I am in same boot, as ho hold my passport so I can't sit another test now.

According to my friend they use 6 years old ielts certificate and still grant ilr last year!
