    Hi Everyone!

    I am just about to send my application for permanent residency (in the UK) off but became confused a bit.

    Scenario brief:
    EEA citizen, spent 5 years under Europen Law here and have all the paperwork to confirm it.

    However, since the 1st of August 2009 I have been unemployed and did not sign up for any benefits/doll. I start my new employment only on the 2nd of November. To cover this three month period I think I have to declare 'economic self-sufficiency' on the application form.

    The question:
    Do I need to attach proof of 'Comprehensive Sickness Insurance? If I don't have it what should I do now?
    Have I been covered by the NHS during this period?

    Thanks very much in anticipation!

    Incorrect. You're still considered a worker if you're unemployed for up to 3 months, are genuinely seeking work and have a reasonable chance of finding it.

    Hi there.

    I was wondering what would his situation have been like if he had been unemployed (but self-sufficient) for a longer period.
    Say for 6months to a year.

    My situation....

    Thanks.
