Permanent residence vs missing wrs

Hello,

I am a polish citizen who's been living in U.K. since June 2006. I was 16 when I move here with my parents, went to 6th form for 2 years, then 2 years of college studying full time.
After I finished college I took a year gap where in October 2010 I started to work via temporary recruitment agency and I was studying part time. In September 2011 I went to university to study full time undergraduate degree. After finishing university I have been in a a full time employment, and I still am.

In 2007 my parents have applied for a uk residence document for eea nationals which we gained without any problems.


Due to Brexit I would like to apply for a British citizenship however I'm struggling to apply for a permanent residence document which is required due to the fact that after finishing college and getting my first job I have never applied for a WRS as my former employer told me that WRS will be scrapped in 2011 and I was only contracted to work as a temporary worker.

Section 9 of PR form requires me to provide my WRS, shall I just put that I never applied for it? Or shall I just ignore it on the basis that home office only requires 5 years information which would be 2012-2017?

I don't want to make false statement in my application and I would like to know whether there's any chance I would get a British residence document and then a citizenship without providing WRS?

You probably acquired PR as direct family member of parent/sponsor: 2006-2011.

Assuming parent was fully registered for WRS if a worker.

If under 21 no need to show dependency, just relationship.

Either way just answer the questions, don't try to find the politically correct or 'best' answer.
Caseworker will decide if she agrees you have acquired PR based on evidence and info submitted.
