British Citizenship v Carer Allowance

[essay2me]

Hello,
I am a Polish and have been living in England since Feb 2005. I worked from that time till July 2009, then was on maternity leave till Apr 2010. My daughter was not well so I stayed home with her, later on she was diagnosed with kidney condition and deafness.
At present I am home with her as she needs extra help with everyday life. I started claiming Carer's Allowance in 2013. I am with my daughter's father, he is British. We are not planning to get married nor civil partnership.I have private health insurance and am self sufficient although as mentioned above started claiming Carer's Allowance in 2013. I have not applied for permanent residency as I was advised it does not change a fact on British Citizenship as long as you have enough working years and remained in the UK for certain time. Is there a way in my case to become a British Citizen? I am planning to stay here forever. I have passed Life in the UK and hold ESOL Entry 3.
I hope you can help.
