5 years of continuous employment but student 10 years ago

[apple2017]

Hi,

Please I need someone to clarify a couple of points for me regarding the online application.

I have been employed full time for the last 5 years and I would like to use this period as the qualifying.

I have been self- employed for 5 years from 2006 to 2011 and I have bean a student from 2002 to 2006.

The application is asking to send documents relating to my self-employment period and my studies. Why is this ? As these periods are not been used towards my qualifying period. Do i need to submit these documents ? Although the application guideline says that only evidence for the 5 continuos qualifying years need to be provided.

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
