Common confusion points
Mistaking it for a standard letter: Remember, this is a structured questionnaire, not just free text.
Not updating the *last* action date: If you forget to mark when the last event happened, the progression looks inaccurate.
Confusing 'Progression' with 'Outcome': The form shows where you are going, not necessarily the final result.
Using it for a new case entirely: If the case is brand new, start with initial filing forms first.
