Form CA 9176

Has anyone had trouble filling out the above form for Grandparent’s allowance ?
It won’t let me put in my Date of Birth.
I have downloaded the up to date Acrobat reader but to no avail.

    What happens when you try to put in your date of birth?

    Is there an error message?
  • I type in 17 for thé day and it puts in a 0 and then 7 goes into the month

    Are you using the number keys at the side of a keyboard?
    Press the 'Num lock' key - usually just above it - some things turn it off and then those numbers act like cursor buttons instead  (up/down left/right).
    Alternatively use the nunbers on the top row of the keyboard.
  • I’m using my iPhone, I get an Error message saying the format isn’t correct.
  • Could be a iPhone issue, as works fine on Win 11
    Let's Be Careful Out There
  • I don’t think the form likes I phone or I pad as it won’t let me fill in my NINO properly
