EU citizen and NCS observations.

Today I applied through NCS. They didnot take the original
Life in the UK certificate, they made a copy and gave the original
back to me! Is this ok?

They also called a home office case worker to ask if i had to fill
the section on treaty rights since i had EEA 3 for more than a year. They said that regardless of if I had it for over a year, still need to fill that section. Very strange!

thats crazy, I applied by post and left it blank, it was`t relevant in my case as I had PR confirmation to prove I was free from immigration control.
looks like NCS is doing so only as a back-up.

Did they ask for supporting documents also or was it just the form that they asked to fill in?

As said, this is not required in your case (but then you can argue that the whole form in not mandatory).

they asked to do both, but I suspect that the person the council talked on the phone didn't know, or didn't really understand that what we have. Anyway, I wished I just posted my documents without the NCS, it was more hassle than worth it.
