UCAS asking about living in the EU?

I was looking through the UCAS application form and one of the questions is "Have you ever lived or worked in the EU (excluding the UK), European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland?". I lived in France from 2010-2012 and in Poland from 2015-2016 (both of which were before I started secondary school, if that's relevant), but both of my parents are British residents (and one is a British citizen and the other is an Irish citizen). I was just wondering what impact this might have on my application as just it says "These questions are about whether you and your family may have lived within the EU (excluding the UK), EEA or Switzerland. This is important in deciding the level of tuition fees you pay, what support you are entitled to, and where this support comes from. Universities and colleges, Government bodies and funding councils need this information to make an accurate decision about the fees you may be charged and any scholarships, bursaries and financial support available to you" and I don't know and can't find how this might impact my application.

Worst case telling the truth will mean one or more of your universities might ask you to fill in a fee status questionnaire which will confirm that you’re eligible to pay home fees

It sounds like you will be a Home (UK) fee payer but as above - always be honest, never try to fudge/hide details like this as too often they can catch up with you later.
