EEA national applying under long residence route

Hello all,
I'm curious to see if anyone has applied under 10 year residence rule as an EEA national. My husband did not have CSI as a student which is very unfortunate. I wonder if - in spite of this - he could apply under 10 year rule.

The period as a student without CSI will break the 10 year residence.

Any chance he was employed throughout his time as a student and paying tax/NI (within the permitted hours).

He was, but probably not throughout. I will check. His EEA PR application is not going to be easy (was refused once due to lack of student CSI) as he was fully employed, then self-employed, then fully employed, then self-sufficient, then fully employed again.

CSI = Comprehensive Sickness Insurance. Required by an EU citizen who is studying or self sufficient.
