1. Salary slips for at least the previous 3 months, preferably the previous 6 months; AND
2. Bank statements for at least the previous 6 months; AND
3. The sponsor's (co-sponsor's) employment contract (if the sponsor is not independently wealthy); AND
4. The sponsor's (co-sponsor's) most recent P60.

but some people have sent less and got a visa, but you should supply what your asked to, if you want to minimise your chances of a refusal.

i don't think you will be asked to go for an interview because of that..

Though no fault of your own, the injury you sustained on active service - and, moreover, IN DEFENCE OF THE REALM - has evidently left you at least partially *disabled [even though you don't regard yourself as *such]. I can think of few (if any) more honourable testaments to an ex-army man's sense of loyalty to his comrades. In the circumstances, and from the information you've shared here, I cannot imagine an Entry Clearance Officer refusing to grant a spouse visa - especially since your financial situation indicates you will have more than adequate resources [without working] to provide for your wife and child. I think you can safely rely on the reassurance given to you by Citizens Advice, together with your GP's letter of support.
Best of luck mate.

very good post!

Guidance on overcrowding
The Housing Act 1985 contains statutory definitions of overcrowding in "dwelling houses". Dwelling houses covers both privately owned houses and those owned by local authorities. A house is overcrowded if 2 persons of 10 years old or more of opposite sexes (other than husband and wife) have to sleep in the same room, or if the number sleeping in the house exceeds that permitted in the Act.

The Act specifies the numbers permitted for a given number of rooms or given floor area. For our purposes we adopt the room number yardstick. Account is only taken of rooms with a floor area larger that 50 sq feet and rooms of a type used either as a living-room or bedroom; kitchens or bathrooms etc are not included.

Using the above noted yardstick, the following table provides guidance as to the acceptable (for our purposes) number of persons occupying a house with a stated number of rooms:

NO OF ROOMS ..... PERMITTED NO OF PERSONS
.......... 1 ................................. 2
.......... 2 ................................. 3
.......... 3 ................................. 5
.......... 4 ................................. 7.5
.......... 5 ............................... 10

with an additional 2 persons for each room in excess of 5.

A child under the age of one does not count as a person. A child aged 1 - 10 years will count as only half a person.

1. Salary slips for at least the previous 3 months, preferably the previous 6 months; AND
2. Bank statements for at least the previous 6 months; AND
3. The sponsor's (co-sponsor's) employment contract (if the sponsor is not independently wealthy); AND
4. The sponsor's (co-sponsor's) most recent P60.

but some people have sent less and got a visa, but you should supply what your asked to, if you want to minimise your chances of a refusal.
