Permanent Resident Card and Comprehensive Sickness Insurance

Hello everyone!

I am really confused about new changes and comprehensive sickness insurance.
I would like to ask experts for advice.
I am EEA member and I wanted to apply for permanent resident card. I live in UK since October 2008. Constantly working all years (2008-2015).
I was a full time student for last 3 years. However, I was still employed-working (part-time) and studying in the same time.
Is my application going to be rejected because I didn`t had comprehensive sickness insurance in time I was a student? Thanks soo much for your help!

Not if you exercised your treaty rights as a worker at the same time.

It depends on nature of the work & whether it was 'marginal'.
You will ofcourse require adequate documentary supporting evidence of your status (whether as worker or student).

See HO guidance on this matter, there are some examples involving students:

Thanks for a link. is very useful. There were months when I was working 120 hours per month but also times when I worked just 33 hours because of exam times. So have no clue how they will assess my case and insurance. I have been working for this employer for 3 years. Zero hours contract. i was wondering If I apply as a worker do i have to mention university in other table?
