Thank you for this. I have read the document but not sure where I stand regarding the 5 P60.

Please, is there anyone in my shoe that has got an experience.

I have read the document

Okay! Did you read the answer to the following question

"Q - Do I require P60s for all 5 years?"

If you search the forum, you'll observe that not everyone (making in-person application) have been asked for P60s covering all the 5 years. It all depends on the caseworker.

The question is - what if the caseworker asks for them and you're unable to provide? Do you want to risk a refusal?

Do you have payslips for the year(s) that you do not have P60s for?

Thank you sushdmehta, if you have a look at my earlier post the the reason why I am only having 4 instead of 5 P60 is because of when I started working. After entering UK in January 2007, I was not employed until June 2007. Therefore, I have got only 4 P60 for tax year ending April 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011.

Yes, I have got payslip for months April 2011 to date (Oct 2011).

Do you still think this will be a problem. My appointment at PEO is 7 November 2011.

Then you cannot be expected to possess a P60 for the period in question or payslips or bank statements reflecting salary credit.
So where's the problem ... when you do not have something that you cannot be expected to have?

That you were unemployed for a few initial months then will have no affect on the outcome of your settlement application.

Thank you once again Sushdmetha, I just need to be sure of what I am going for. Are you advising that I should go ahead with the PEO appointment or to go for the postal application.
