If you were AD/MIL during that time, there are exceptions that allow you to "suspend" the 5 year lookback, which can make the total lookback time up to 10 years (keeping the 2008/2009 "line in the sand" in mind). So if you are/were AD/MIL, select YES when asked if you lived in it as your primary residence and work it through. Read the small print, as it will matter.
