Sorry for bumping this. Why is this being ignored? I thought someone would have a reply to this query.

I don't think you are being ignored and to be honest I found your comment quite rude when taking into account that people are helping you on a voluntary basis.

If you had gaps between employments and were not registered as a job-seeker you would have been self-sufficient with a CSI.

Now, below this is an extract from Safeguarding the position of EU citizens living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU: summary proposals by Mrs May about Brexit and EU Citizens living in the UK.

The application process will be a separate legal scheme, in UK law, rather than the current one for certifying the exercise of rights under EU law. Accordingly we will tailor the eligibility criteria so that, for example, we will no longer require evidence that economically inactive EU citizens have previously held ‘comprehensive sickness insurance’ in order to be considered continuously resident;
