Cohabitation documents for two years or less?

Hi,
I will be applying for ILR with spouse in July 2015. We recently extended Tier 2 visa + dependent visa on July 2014. Is this correct to assume that we need to show Cohabitation documents since our last grant of leave i.e. from July 2014 to July 2015 only? Which is about a year ?
Could any expert comment on this please ?

This is rather misleading.

To be on safer side, I would advise you to submit cohabitation documents for 2 years, counting back from your date of application.

The SET (O) form Section 11 says this "If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years). Evidence provided should cover the whole period and be in the form of official letters or documents, addressed to yourself and your spouse."
Though I will be preparing for to years documents as you advised but Isn't this clear here that we need only a years documents in our situation ?

Well, the requirement for dependents (whose first dependent visa appication was made before 9 July 2012) was to cohabite with main applicants for atleast 2 years before they qualify for settlement (with or after the main applicant settlement application).
So, my interpretation is to "Provide 2 years of cohabitation proof".
