The 10 year ban for breaching immigration law starts from the day you become legal, which from what I can make out from your post seems to be 2010. So under the good character requirement you wouldn't be eligible for citizenship until 2020.

Ohara is correct, your time starts from the day when your first "discretionary grant to remain" was given to you i.e. 2010. You can count 10 years from that date, so it will be sometime in 2020.

but immigration breach is if you was working here without per mission or getting benefits or done given work illegally to some one or trying to help illegal people entering illegal is only offence you done on day you enter not like overstay where a person still on breach till realizes his or her stay in this country. there is difference between illegal entry and an overstayed
a person illegally enter in UK only that day is a breach according to Home Office law
A person is overstaying is breaching till leave country or regularize his stay as written in UKBA immigration offences.
please can you tell about this thanks
this reason they made chapter 18 annex B 9.5 FOR ILLEGAL ENTRY and 9.7 is for evading immigration control please can you answer on this thanks
