Conditional caution Rehabilitation period 3months or 3year?

Her guys
Looking at the good character guidance and I am confused what is the correct Rehabilitation period for Conditional caution.

Simon was charged for resisting arrest in August 2015 and was on bail to appear in court however he agreed to the conditional caution
i.e. 2 conditions..

• Write an apology letter to the officer &
  pay £50 fine.

and the matter was finished.

Now he wants to apply for british citizenship however confused about Rehabilitation period for Conditional caution.

In AN guidance under Good Character Table LINE 4 it says..

4. A non-custodial offence or
other out of court disposal that
is recorded on a person’s
criminal record
Application will normally be refused if the
conviction occurred in the last 3 years.

then it says on the bottom to refer to this guide also.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... ersion.pdf

on page 30 it says

Fines 5 years (or 2½ years if under 18 at the
time of conviction).

and

Conditional caution Three months

Could any please clarify this.
