For EEA applications you get Permanent Residency automatically but can apply for PR card for proof. I suggest you read EEA FAQs - Common Questions - Read before posting under Permanent Residence.

ILR is for UK immigration applications. Though both PR and ILR infer settlement.

On what basis did you obtain the RC in the first place? Marriage to EEA national? unmarried partner? Other category?
