ILR : Required docs : Lost one of the old work permit

[remo1]

I'm due to apply for ILR in couple of weeks. The company A I joned was taken over by another company B. I have the lastest work permit noting the chjanges that the Company A is now part of Company B; however, during the transition my employer B had lost my work permit with Company A.
Will this cause any problem for my ILR application in proving that I have spent 5yrs in UK as work permit holder?

Please let me know your comments based on your experience?

Thanks.

generally they dont look at WP as they have all details in their system. As long as you have letters from employers and P60/Payslips for 5years, they are ok. in my case my company A was taken over by company B even though my WP was made by company A. when i showed the relevant document from the company B they are ok.

Many thanks for your response Shivuu...
When I rang the HO, they told me the same that the WP (WP approval letters) are not compulsory to submit. In order to prove the 5years stay in UK, he said that it is enough if I show the utility bills (?) or 5years bank statements.
