Here's the most important one:
Don't - attach originals and copies together
Do - make a copy of everything (except blank pages) you are submitting.
Note: it is not necessary to copy every page of your bank statement - just the pages showing salary paid in, and the front page with your name/address/account number.
Your document organization can follow the form you are using:
Form/Passport/Photos
If required - Employer SOC letter
Your payslips or similar
Bank statements to correspond with the above payslips or similar
It certainly helps CW if you highlight the entries showing your pays in bank statement.
Absences
T1 related _ i am unfamiliar on this, but I would imagine there would be a few pages to submit here
Cohab if required - in my own case, I made 3 separate piles of cohab, (i) joint names, (ii) my names only, (iii) dependent names only. I kindly asked the CW which pile she wanted, (Joint names), handed her the lot, and she pulled 3 out (Insurance statement, Mortgage statement, Council tax bill). BTW it was WP 5 yr route.
Note: Photocopies of documents for cohab could only be the first page of the letter/statements showing name/address, unless it is a signed 'official' letter, in which case all pages.
Number all docs/pages (except passport, appli form) in a sequence before copying. Carry a 'table of contents' along with you. Instead of fiddling with your paperwork, you can refer to the table of contents and pull out the exact document asked for.
No fancy folders/binders etc.
