EEA PR, Naturalisation; student & worker

Hiya everyone!
I have a query I am hoping I could resolve here.
I have been googling for days and I can’t find straight answer.

I am from EEA country, one of A8
I have arrived in uk 2011 and started working immediately.
In 2012 I have started university studying for three years bachelor degree and at the same time I have worked part time.

When I decided to apply for permanent residence last year (after 6 years of residency in uk) I realised that one of her requirements was to have comprehensive health insurance as student.
I did not have insurance during my 3 years of study, I decided to apply for PR anyway leaving this field blank in application. I obviously sent all uni documents together with application.
Few weeks later I have received my permanent residency card. I assumed that I have been categorised as worker not as student as I worked continuously since 2011.

Now I am completing my naturalisation application and I have everything required.

My question is:

Do I still need this health insurance documents? Will they ask for them even though I have been granted permanent residency card?

There is no info about students who work, it only states if you are student only you must have insurance.

I found only one document though that says:
“7.2 If the applicant claims to be supporting themselves through employment, then the application should be considered under the category of a Worker”

So my intuition says that there was no need for me to have insurance as I have worked continuously. But I really don’t want to loose £1330 if they suddenly decide that they need this document.

Any one here came across this situation?
Thanks!!

If the job you did was genuine and effective and not marginal or ancillary then you can be classed under worker. You were obviously classed as a worker which is why your PR was approved. Should not be a problem for naturalization if this was the case.
