Personal History: Successive months or Overlapping Months?

[andysunny]

Hi, As the personal history section allows to list the month and years only, do we need to mention overlapping months to ensure that 'not one day is missed'?

For example, study finish date is 11th in 2017-06 and work starts on 20th in 2017-11. In this case what would be the correct way to report:

1>
Education - 2013/06 - 2017-06
Unemployment - 2017-07 - 2017-10
Employment - 2017-11 -

2>
Education - 2013/06 - 2017-06
Unemployment - 2017-06 - 2017-11
Employment - 2017-11 -

Do the officer look for days or the order of months to identify missing period in personal history. In case, they are counting missing days from the personal history, then why the date is not asked along with month and year?

Either way is fine. As long as you are covering the complete period and are not getting any error when you click "Check for completeness", you are good.

@Maverick28 I did not get any error with the "Check for completeness". I have covered the entire period, but due to reporting based on month and year, few days are missing during each of the transition periods. In total, few weeks are missed. Now I see, everyone says do not even miss a day - this is causing me lots of doubts. Also, I am thinking whether I should raise a webform and try to explain the gap in terms of number of days due to taking month and year only to report all the periods.

The days do not count. It's month and year, so you are good.
