Thinking it replaces all other forms: It only serves the purpose of providing 'Information' under this specific section.
Not knowing *who* needs the information: The recipient is usually the Court itself, but check instructions for specific parties.
Mistaking the amendment date: Ensure you are referencing the 2009 Act amendments, not just the original 1984 Act.
