I meant to ask your questions, not to start a general all tag onto topic.
Many have got it, it really does depend on your immigration history and circumstances though, which would be useful if you expect any advice.

I am currently a refugee. Granted refugee status in May 2013, got ILR last year July and just applied for naturalisation last month. Will definitely post any update on here once I hear from the Home Office.

I was on Refugee status then ILR (Set P) for one year.
Applied for the nationality in May and just due to attend the citizenship ceremony which is next week.
I believe, it really depend on personal circumstances and meeting the criteria of Good Character. I have been very conscious and confused about this process but again, if you entered the UK lawfully and have a clean past there should be no issues.
Thanks.
