In this case, my colleague filled the form in with teh client there. But I know of cases where, particularly with DLA/AA, colleagues have made notes in the interview, got the client to sign the form and filled the form in back in the office. Personally, I think this could give rise to all sorts of problems. I always give clients a chance to read through what I have written before signing. Most decline! Do you think it makes a big difference? It seems to me if you fill the form in without the client, they could legitamately say " I wasn't even there when this was filled in."
