From / to what I understand...

Hello,

I was wondering if you could help me with my questions, please. Thank you.

A. From what I understand, you can't claim benefits unless you're 16 less.
B. To what I understand, you can't claim benefits unless you're 16 less.
C. What I understand, you can't claim benefits unles you're 16 less.

D. From my understanding, men are less emotional than women.
E. To my understanding, men are less emotional than women.
F. My understanding, men are less emotional than women.

1. Which underlined phrases are correct? and natural?

2. Is there any difference between the correct answers?
3. In C and F, can I use 'is' instead of comma (,)?
4. I understand the more common is "It's my understanding that...", but I find it very formal. In casual conversation, which phrase is commonly said by native speakers?
