Absences during the final year
If you have been absent from the UK for up to 100 days in total during the final year, we normally disregard the absence.

If you have been absent from the UK for between 101 and 180 days in total during the final year, we normally disregard the absence if:

you have met the residence requirements over the qualifying period; and
you have demonstrated a link with the UK by establishing your home, family and a large part of your estate here.

If your absence lasted between 101 and 180 days and you have not met the residence requirements over the qualifying period, we will only disregard the absence if:

you have demonstrated a link with the UK by establishing your home, family and a large part of your estate here; and
the absence occurred because you were serving abroad in Crown service, or for a compelling occupational or compassionate reason.

If you have been absent from the UK for more than 180 days in total during the final year, we will only disregard the absence if:

you have met the residence requirements over the qualifying period; and
you have demonstrated a link with the UK by establishing your home, family and a large part of your estate here; and
the absence occurred because you were serving abroad in Crown service, or for a compelling occupational or compassionate reason.
If your absence lasted more than 180 days and you have not met the residence requirements over the qualifying period, we will only consider disregarding the absence in exceptional circumstances.

You need to ensure that absence in the last 12 month (from the date of application) doesn't exceed 90 days (though normally upto 100 days are disregarded).

As you returned on 18th April 2013 so 18th January 2014 appears to be right time to satisfy the residential condition. There might be +/- of a day or two - to factor in 28 days in Feb, 31 days in Jan etc...so calculate the exact number of absences.

Also if you apply on 18th Jan 2014, you need to be physically present in the UK on 19th Jan 2009 (if you apply in 5 year category).
