Common confusion points
Mistaking 'subsequent' for 'pre-trial'; Post-trial means *after* the hearing ends.
Forgetting to list minor costs; small expenses must still be itemized if they occurred after trial.
Claiming general living expenses (like rent) without tying them directly to court activity.
Submitting the form before the trial date is finalized, leading to rejection.
