non-EU minor children who grow up (they all do!)

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

Lets say a 20 year old non-EU child of an EU citizen applies for and gets a Residence Card.

They start working and are financially self-sufficient, and then turn 21. 22. 23. 24.

When they were 20, they were clearly a "family member". At 21, they no longer strictly meet that definition, because they are not under 21 and are not dependent.

And then at age 25 they apply for a Permanent Residence Card.

They clearly need to present evidence that the EU citizen was legally resident in the UK for the duration. Do they have to show any evidence of what they were doing? Is it enough that for most of the period that they were a former "family member?"

That's one of my questions it applies to me I'm eager to know
