To avoid confusion & jumbled responses, I have moved your question to its own thread (this one).

can anybody also confirm if she need to provide bio-metrics as well

No, only non-EEA nationals need to submit their biometrics when applying for PR.

She can apply 5 years after the WRS was abolished - so could use a qualifying period from 1/5/11-1/5/16 for example if she worked continuously during that period.

All good. PR may have been acquired automatically as early as May 2016 then.
Good documentary supporting evidence will be required in order to back up the application for confirmation of PR.

My friend is in the same boat, he started working on 01/01/2010 but no WRS means he only became PR on 01/05/2016, so I have wrotten in the additional info one the form make sure they don't look at the period berofe May 2011 as it is no needed. Fingers crossed they send him his PR soon.
