Hi,
Is it good idea to fill the form using acrobat writer? I donwloaded the evaluation version and can fill the most fields on computer or add text labels. Is it acceptable to fill this way? Or should I only use pen and paper to fill it?

I think she qualifies. She was HSMP dependent since Jan 2008 followed by tier 1 dependent since July 2009. We have co-habition proofs of last two years, council tax and bank statements. She was not absent from UK apart from usual holidays i.e. less than 30 days per year. Does she need something else...
