Process for confirming (EEA) DCPR date

[salmintin]

I've just received my EEA DCPR, along with a letter that clearly states the date I became a permanent resident. That date is more than 1 year ago, so I don't need to wait if I want to apply for BC.

I do realize it was an ad hoc decision from the caseworker to include a letter with my PR date on it.

My question is who and how checks the PR date when I apply for BC? NCS? Home Office? Do I still need to do a SAR or will the letter be enough? Or will NCS confirm the PR date and from that point on I will not need to worry anymore?

Although the NCS can check with the HO the date that PR was acquired, the letter should be sufficient proof.

And HO is the ultimate arbiter regardless of NCS or SAR.

Thanks for your replies! Does that mean I don't normally have to do a SAR?

There is no prescribed process.

HO don't need sight of your SAR, they have full access to your record in CID databanks whirring away in bowels of HO HQ.

My 5-year "timeline" consists of:

2 years of university (for which I have university letter)
3 years of work (for which I have P60s etc)

However for a few months (9) at University I worked part time (and my timeline covers only 4 of them). I was receiving roughly minimum wage back then so I didn't pay any tax, although I have some HRMC papers about my tax code but

(1) EDIT: they do mention the name of the company! Original: none of them mention the name of the company
(2) I do not have any other evidence of working there (other than some emails) and I think it will be very hard for me to get in touch with someone at the company and get some evidence of working there.

1.50 from AN form forces me to declare this so I can't simply ignore it and pretend it never happened.

Will this be an issue? I was primarily a student back then so I will rely on University letter for those 2 years.
