Is that for the EEA2?

Just going through the form now for the initial EEA permit - I note a return date has to be submitted? I'm guessing this should be 6 months after entry, even if you're planning to apply for the residence card? That also makes me a bit nervous of the 'purpose of visit' question? What should this actually be? Settlement? Despite stating a return after 6 months?

Terpe, on this point:

Always remember that this means that the status granted is not legally held, it is solely a policy decision by the Home Office, and may or may not be granted.
Just wondering, considering the above post, could they potentially turn down the EEA2 even after granting the initial permit? After all, a change in policy would mean such applications would fall foul of the changes? Or would they have to be consistent?
