EU with a permanent residence card

hi I live in Uk for 12 years and we had applied for our residence permanent card in march.
I applied as EU and my husband as non European dependent. My son has British passport as when he born in 2012 I was already exercising my rights and I was legible.
we are expecting the residence card to arrive anytime soon. I know my husband will have to wait for 1 year before applying for British citizenship, what about me? As an European do I have to wait one year even though I have been continuously working since 2004 and already had proved the rights in 2012?
if so is 12 months after the card been issued?

thank you

Nope. You should be able to apply as soon as you'l get your PR but I would do it through NCS because they will call HO to amend your status on PR card.

Submitting your application through the NCS will enable you to retain your passport and original documents and also make use of the joint BC/passport application option, avoiding the need to attend an interview before your passport is issued after your ceremony.
