When to apply for citizenship?

Dear Forumers,

In July 2011 I got my Residence Card of a family member of EU citizen. It was valid until July 2016.

In the end of 2016 me and my unmarried partner applied for DCPR. A few day ago we both received our DCPRs. My partner received a letter stating the date she acquired PR status, but I just had the PR Card with a short letter where no date was mentioned.

Am I right thinking that I can start naturalisation process in July 2017 (6 years after receiving Residence Card) as by virtue I received the PR Status in July 2016 and I don't have to wait another year from the moment I got DCPR?

Many Thanks

I applied for naturalisation 6 years after marrying EU citizen ...

According to my SAR record, I acquired PR on my 5th wedding anniversary

Thanks Zhonor, will do the SAR as well to make sure that it's the right time to apply.
