I Am Polish Citizen, In Uk Since 2003, 2003 2004 Student Visa In Pr Card Application I Am Certifying

I am a Polish citizen, in UK since 2003, 2003-2004 on a student visa. In PR Card application I am certifying years 2012-2016, when I worked continuously with one 7 week break between two jobs. 1) Do I need to declare this time as no separate health insurance was taken for that period? 2) Do I need to list all my activities since the arrival in UK or only during the 5 year qualifying period? My first months as a student/part-time worker also were not covered by insurance. 3) I read that I need to list all my trips outside UK even though PR application guidelines state "You only need to list your absences where you have been out of the UK for more than 6 months in total in any 12 month period. You do not need to list absences before your qualifying period of residence." Which one is correct?
