Just an advice here please.EEA family member work permission

[Ahmed Ellsayeh]

I'm EEA family member and have the EEA family permit in my passport. Its Issued at 06/08/2012 valid until 08/02/2013, I was applying for jobs here in London and some of the agencies told me that I have expired VISA and I can't work and I have to leave the UK.
My questions here are;
1- Am I illegal here in the UK or I can apply for the residence card when ever I want?
2- Do I need work permission here from the UKBA (Home Office) or I can work with this permit even if its expired?.
I already checked UKBA website and it says there that I can work with this family permit.
Please I need help.
Thank you very much
