I have been granted ILR yesterday in croydon PEO along with 4 dependants ....

Entry in UK: 07-Feb-2009 (87 days)
Current Leave Expiry: 07-Feb-2014
Application date: 15-Oct-2013 (i.e. 27 days before 5th anniversary of entry clearance)
So basically got this ILR after 4 years and 8 months coming into UK as i used the 90 days role in my favour and applied 27 days before 5th anniversary of entry clearance.
Total absence from UK was 114 days.

- NHS appointment letters
- Driving Licenses
- Council Tax
- Water bills
All of above them were for last 2 years and 10 documents in total
4) For sec 6.2 and 6.3 i didnt provide any letter from employer, rather i wrote a letter explaining the situation and attached relevant pay slips if i was employed at that time and for the period if i didnt had any job, just wrote that time between 2 jobs. My absense was only week or 2 mostly.
5) Sec 9.D1 ..... "Yes"
6) Sec 7.11 ..... "4 years and 9 months"
7) Personal letter explaining 5 years qualifying period and attached an email which was received from settlement Inbox when i asked the same question from them last month.
And photocopy for above all
Timings:

Overall experience was good and you can see the progress of your case on monitors and number of that move quite quickly.
