Permanent residence -working and studying at the same time

[Paul777]

Hello,
I am Polish National (WRS registered) working in UK continuously full time from 2004 till now.. In 2008 I started to study for a period of 3 years (till June 2011) and received student loan.
As I was working continuously can I claim permanent residence on the basis of being a worker in UK even though I studied at the same time?
In the application form EEC3 I need to fill the form on what basis I claim my permanent residence and I understand I can only claim it as a worker not as a student ( I didn't have comprehensive health insurance during my study so I can't claim on the basis being a student)?
I appreciate your prompt reply.

Paul

Exercising more than one but atleast one mode of treaty rights normally leads towards PR after 5 years. In this case you can claim to be a worker only as being a qualified person but its unpredictable that how your student loan may affect your case because although its not a public benefit but i believe the case worker will look on your individual circumstances while determining the case.

How is that? It's a loan, not a public fund.
