PR application and JSA for 16months

[Binnie]

Me and my husband are about to apply for a permanent card. I’m an EEA and my husband is non EEA. I’m applying online and will add my husband as family member. I’m now stuck at the public funds part which says please state time frame, how much and if we still receive it either per week or month. That’s a problem because child tax credit and housing benefit was different every month. I’m sending all my bank statements for last 5 years anyways. Is it possible to write see bank statements or do I really need to write the amount for every month for the last 5 years?
This one is very confusing!
Someone here please share their experience!?

Just put an approximate amount and add a comment to explain that it was different every month, and to refer to attached bank statements.

Hello, I’m about to submit a PR application but I’m scared now because I was on JSA in the first year but have a full time permanent job since 3.5 years now. Do you think my pr application will be refused. I think the fact that I found a job and i’m working there is the biggest proof of job seeking but I’m really worried and would like to know if someone got pr despite being on jsa for a longer period at the beginning!?

For periods of unemployment longer than 6 months, especially if at the beginning of the 5-year QP, the HO requires additional evidence of job hunting - just the JSA evidence is unlikely to be enough. Have you got additional evidence of job seeking that you csn provide to cover the initial 1.5 years?
If it was me applying, I'd probably have a consultation with a lawyer or wait for Settled Status in March.
