Hello I am curently on 2+3 HSMP visa 5 years ILR +1 Naturalisation
Could you please advise how many days can you be away from UK not to effect ILR AND citizenship?

I am seeing 180 days for ILR
450 DAYS for Naturalisation would this be right?

According to http://www.workpermit.com/uk/naturalisation.htm#s1

450 days in 6 years , and the no more then 90 days in the 12 months of the 6th year, that makes it 450-90 360 days for ILR?

Please help I am confused

Does this apply only to main appliacnt or to depednets as well?

There are two different standards. One for ILR via work permit and one for Naturlisation.
If you were a spouse, you could get away with more absences for ILR versus work permit but should you go to citizenship, well then they reign in the absences.
