EEA2 question & accession

[marakby]

A Polish national, registered under WRS on 1 Aug 2004 and completed 12 months uninterrupted legal employment, following which was issued with a Residence Permit valid for 5 years (Feb 06 - Feb 11). In May 2007, left the UK for 1 yr and 8 months to live with non-EEA husband outside EEA. Now husband is in UK with a Family Permit.

Question: Is it necessary to register under WRS again? and if Not, would absence for less than two years break the continuity of the 5 years towards application for Permanent residence EEA3?

I appreciate your response.

I think that the break in residence does dictate that he/she registers under WRS again (due to the 20 month absence) and definitely resets the clock to zero for PR.

Thanks Plum70. Anyone else with more concrete answer to the first question?
