Why do I need EEA (QP)?

[ranguler03]

Hi everyone,
Briefly speaking, am a Spanish living in London, self employed. Based on the situation at hand: whether Britain will remain in EU or not am scared how it might affect me and my family so I came across this document/form that i've printed EEA(QP), reading through it, i can't find anything in it different from the right that I already have as an EU citizen .
So I've got these 3 questions:

1) Do we need it or not?
2) Is it part of the requirements for us to apply for a permanent residence card as they say?
3) Am I save with my business if Britain leaves EU?

1) It is optional; it is a document that simply confirms rights (it doesn't grant them)

2) No; (it may help as evidence of residence in UK but it is not mandatory)
