Hi
There’s nothing to worry about, the home office is taking time to for processing you application as they were doing it since 2008, and under the EEA agreement directive 2004/38/EC they need to return your passport with your residency on it within 6months if not that meant they breached the law.

European Casework Instructions
CHAPTER 5 - RESIDENCE CARD APPLICATIONS

5.8 Six-month rule
Community law requires us to decide applications for a Residence Card within 6 months from the date of receipt of the application. Every effort should be made to do so, particularly where an applicant draws our attention to an alleged breach of this requirement. Failure to comply with this requirement could leave the Home Office open to a claim for damages.


You need to complain to the UKBA and brief them that they have breached the Law if they don’t respond complain to the EU.
