ILR 10 years at PEO Croydon, Please help

[Swan]

Hi
I am going to apply for 10 years ILR in Croydon (in person), all my visas are ok (never expired and no gap), my only worry is:

On one occasion, I went home for holidays and stayed for 3 months and 10 days (visa hadn't expired).

On the application form they ask you to justify if you stayed more than 3 months in one go
I can give them reasons (had health problems + was impossible to get any flight bookings to come back before 3 months)

Will this be a problem? Do you think they can reject my application on the day because of 10 days extra holidays?

Any advice will help
Thanks in advance

no.

as long it hasn't been more than 6 months at any one time then its fine.

Thanks a lot for the reply

I did manage to find some document from the HO that stated that the absence period for long residence shouldn't be more than 6 months at one time and no more than 18 months in the whole 10 years. (very relieved!)
What got me confused is the application form but then I realised that the same application form is used for many categories so the 3 months mentioned on it is general

Thanks again
