What date is it stated on the letter that came with your PR card related to the date you have acquired Permanent Residence? If the letter says Sept 2018 then you must wait 12 months after. If the date states different then you need to wait 12 months from the date. Check the date on the letter not the issue date of the card.
Thanks for reply.
PR letter is lost, unfortunately
refusal letter pernament residency since 06.04.2018
It would appear that your PR status has started on 06/04/2018 - this should match the date on your DCPR confirmation letter (which you have lost) and thus the rejection would be correct as you will need to wait until 06/04/2019 before you are eligible to apply for citizenship.
Do you remember what evidence you provided for exercising treaty rights in the UK when you applied for your DCPR in September 2018? Since you are an EU national exercising freedom of movement and treaty rights, the date from which your PR status starts tends to based on the evidence for exercising such rights that you submit to HO when applying for DCPR, how satisfied they are with the evidence, and how far back it goes (i.e. the qualifying period you claim to have acquired PR on).
For example, you may have provided evidence of exercising treaty rights dating back all the way to May 2006 but, depending on the evidence supplied, the caseworker might have only been satisfied by the evidence from 06/04/2013 onwards (i.e. 5 years prior to 06/04/2018), thereby confirming your PR status as of 06/04/2018 instead of a date further back. In a rare number of cases you may have lost a previously acquired status of PR - for example, if you have been outside of the UK for more than 2 years which essentially resets your qualifying period.
If you can remember, it would be helpful to post what evidence of exercising treaty rights you supplied for the period between May 2006 and 06/04/2013. If this evidence is sound then, in theory, you should have acquired PR status around May 2011, provided there is no reason to think otherwise.
If your DCPR application has been treated unfairly (e.g. eligible evidence of continuous exercise of treaty rights is disregarded) you may be able to appeal your case wrt your DCPR application. However, wrt to your BC application it is unlikely that there will much you can do at this point in time as your BC application was considered based on the evidence at hand supplied at this point in time.
please someone knows the rules?
