Evidence of continuous residence for BRP

[Shan7719]

I am applying for my biometric residence permit and need to show continuous residence since I was granted ILR in 2011. But in 2014 I had a six month period when I wasn’t working or in education, had no council tax or utility bills in my name and did not visit a GP. Will they accept any other forms of evidence?

How about monthly bank statements, mobile phone bills/top up vouchers, shopping receipts, or any other correspondence from uk's private/public organization.

Thanks - bank statements are certainly listed as a type of evidence for EEA nationals wanting to settle in the UK but on the form I've been provided with for my BRP from the home office it only gives five options - GP letter, employer letter, utility bill, council tax bill or letter from an education provider. I spoke to someone in immigration who just kept repeating these 5 options and didn't seem to understand that I just don't have them so I gave up.

Maybe you spoken to telephone operators who mostly are agency workers with no immigration advice. The list of documents mentioned in the form is just an example and they can be from any alternative reliable source.
