Proof of residency for EEA housewife

Hi,
I have a question regarding my wife’s naturalization application that I hope someone can help with.
She is an EEA national, so there are no entry stamps in her passport. The guidance talks about submitting “letters from employers (including start and finish dates), payslips, P60s, educational establishments or other government departments” to proof residency in the UK.

She is a housewife and does not have any employment documents. We can provide council tax documents since December 2016 (the council tax bills were only under my name before that) so it does not cover the three years she would need (I am a naturalized BC).

Does anyone if a letter from the GP or bank statements from earlier in 2016 could be used to complement the council tax bills? Has someone had a similar situation?
Thanks

Thank you. We used bank statements for the PR document but I am not sure if we can use them for the naturalisation application to cover a few months.

Official documents are preferred for naturalisation, such as council tax, HMRC, DWP pensions and child benefit etc showing the applicant's name.

Could I please ask a couple of questions:
If I have stamps on my passports every time I get in and out the country as I am not EU citizen, do I still need to provide other documents for the proof of residency? If so can I only use HMRC letters received in the past 5 years?

NO!!! Your circumstances are NOT the same as the OP so please do not tag onto topics about an EU citizen, who doesn't have stamps, who has to supply alternative information to prove residence. Please ask your questions in your own topic.
