Ok, just found the below on the EU Settlement scheme caseworker guidance, page 121: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 3.0ext.pdf
‘Dependent’ means that, as demonstrated by relevant financial, medical or other documentary evidence:
• having regard to their financial and social conditions, or health, the applicant cannot, or for the relevant period could not, meet their essential living needs (in
whole or in part) without the financial or other material support of the relevant EEA citizen (or qualifying British citizen or relevant sponsor) or of their spouse
or civil partner
• such support is or was, being provided by the relevant EEA citizen (or qualifying British citizen or relevant sponsor) or by their spouse or civil partner
• there is no need to determine the reasons for that dependence or for the recourse to that support
Evidence of dependency might take the form of for example:
• evidence of their financial dependency, such as bank statements or money transfers to the applicant from the relevant EEA citizen (or qualifying British citizen or relevant sponsor) or the spouse or civil partner
• evidence that the applicant needs and receives (or for the relevant period did so) the personal care of the relevant EEA citizen (or qualifying British citizen or relevant sponsor) on serious health grounds, such as a letter from a hospital consultant
So you might not need to prove full dependency, but only part dependency; and recent medical context with your care being vital, might build a strong case.
