Date PR status acquired for naturalisation

[Kasey11]

Hello everyone!

Are rules for EEA family members different to EEA nationals applying for naturalisation after they get PR?

Asking cause when we applied for PR, I didnt get the letter confirming the date I acquired PR status, only the main applicant (EEA national) received such letter. Then when I wrote to HO asking to confirm the date, they sent back the day we applied for PR and not my actual 5 years residency date. Their letter explained if I believe the date is sooner, I have to send the necessary documents during naturalisation (all documents were already been given for PR application!).

I am in UK since 11/2012 as an EEA family member, working full time for the same employee since 01/2013. This clearly justifies 5+1 years requirement for naturalisation, but the letter I received says I acquired permanent residency on 06/18 (PR application date).

Can I apply now and provide additional documents or do I have to wait till 06/19? Just dont want to risk the application fee and get rejection.
