EEA PR Section 16

[milltina]

can some one look into it

Section 16: Public funds / state benefits
 Your or your sponsor’s bank statements showing receipt of the relevant benefit(s)
 Letter(s) from Jobcentre Plus, Department for Work and Pensions, Her Majesty’s Revenue and
Customs, or the local authority, confirming receipt of the relevant benefit
when applying for EEA PR who need to fill out/complete this information?

as looking on information from
https://www.freemovement.org.uk/pr-checker-test/

Section 16: Public funds (state benefits)
This section does not need completing unless you are applying on the basis of self sufficiency or studies, in which case you may need to complete it. This is because for those routes you need to show that you have been able to support yourself without reliance on welfare benefits.

Than this section you only need to complete only if applying on the basis of self sufficiency or studies

Is this correct?
Confused now

I applied as an employed person and did not include section 16 at all in my applocation. Was granted PR certificate in 6weeks (a year ago)
