I have two queries:
1. Related to the early application question: "When did you first enter the UK?" I originally entered the UK on a Tier 4 Student visa in 2013. During my studies, I began working for a company that subsequently sponsored me and still employ me. I applied for my Tier 2 (General) visa from within the UK. Given this, is it right to assume I should state the 2013 date as my first entry date? If this is incorrect, could you please advise on what I should state as I was already in the UK when I received my visa?
Tier 2 visa issue date
2. I received my first Tier 2 (General) visa in January 2015 which was valid for 3 years. I then applied for a second visa in January 2018 which was also valid for 3 years, so I have now been on tier 2 (General) visas for over 5 years and am working on my ILR application. Currently, I am preparing my list of absences. Is it right to assume I should include ALL absences since receiving my first Tier 2 General visa, or should I only pull together absences for the last 5 years? And just to be sure, is it right to assume I do NOT need to include absences from the time I spent on my Tier 4 Student visa?
5 years only on Tier 2
Thank you!

I have come to the point in the application where I am asked to provide the declaration confirming that the Home Office can complete verification checks.
You will just sign Part 1 of the consent form
I am applying as an independent, so do not have any joint accounts. The final document checklist only indicates that I need my most recent payslip and bank statement, it doesn't mention anything about utility bills. Is it right to assume that I only need to send my most recent bank statement?
Yes
Additionally, I recently moved house and changed address. The application did ask for my current address and how long I've lived here. Do you think it would be advisable to create a cover letter stating my previous addresses or is this unnecessary? Do I need to supply tenancy agreements of any kind?
No
Thank you!

If you changed address, did you report that via change of circumstances form?
I have only just moved a couple of weeks ago, so will send that form tomorrow prior to submitting my application. Hopefully, this will suffice. Do you think I should create a cover letter letting them know this form has been submitted?
I don't think you need to include tenancy agreement as it's mainly for cohabitation proof.
As the application ask only about current address I doubt you need to include any cover letter about previous addresses, however, let's see if any other members have anything different to add in this regard.
Yes, most recent payslip and bank statement but they should be dated within 1 calendar month of your application submission date.
