We then backed that up with an explanation of supporting documents to clear up any questions or holes we felt we had in the application... Explanation of bank withdrawals, documents we couldn't provide with reasons why ect. And of course our letters to the Entry Clearance Officer.

I also added this... From the UKBA website, the guide to supporting documents page concerning maintenance, regarding the bank letter. It requests that the bank letter should state " that there are enough funds present in the account to support a dependent partner and any dependent children ". Unfortunately my bank manager declined my request to do this and said that it is against their policy.
