737 NG Alternate FWD CofG

Operation with Alternate Forward Center of Gravity Limit for Takeoff

Any pilots carried this operation procedure out? Do you have to get permission or is it dispatch that recommends this type of loading?

Question;

A more aft CG increases the lift available at a given angle of attack due to the reduction in nose up trim required from the horizontal stabilizer.

I thought an aft CG reduces the tail down force there by decreasing the lift on the wing?
