Advice needed - EEA3 permanent residence

Post by Satura » Mon Jan 24, 2011 8:50 pm

I am a EU national.
I have continuously resided in the UK since August 2003 to present; and during that time I worked for nearly 3.5 years in total;
I have been issued with an Accession State Worker Registration Scheme Registration Certificate in October 2004;
I have been issued with a Residence Permit For A National of a Member State of the EEC in January 2006.

I worked 09/2004 - 10/2007. I was on a maternity leave 10/2007 - 10/2008 and in employment until 11/2009. However, my last income was received in 06/2008 (last payment of Maternity Allowance). Since 06/2008 I have been financially supported by my husband.

Will they ask for a comprehensive breakdown of private medical insurance, showing that I had medical insurance from June 2008 to present (despite the fact that I was on a maternity leave until 10/2008 and technically employed until 11/2009)?

Also, can I argue that since my arrival in the UK (in 2003) I have lived with a EU national husband who has been either employed or seft employed for all the period in question (2003 - present); i.e. contributing towards the NHS on his and my behalf. My husband was granted a Permanent Residency in September 2010.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

You qualify for confirmation of PR Certificate under regulation 15.

As you have been an EEA national exercising treaty right in an economic capacity and then a family member of such person, you do not require a Comprehensive sickness insurance at all, your husband PR Certificate will suffice.

Obie, thank you so much! I am off to find and read regulation 15. Is this really so?! Oh, you have made my day then!
I have been reading and reading threads since I posted my question and I was becoming pessimistic ref my case..
