My advice is going to sound really basic, but your future self will thank you if you set up a file folder solely for forms/questionnaires/documents submitted to SSA. This is so when you are completing the next 10-page questionnaire, 2 years from now when they review again - you can easily access what you've sent them before. Use past answers to help with your current answers -- this will help prevent accidentally messing up & not emphasizing a symptom at least as much as you did before.

You don't want them to get the idea you have improved just because you messed up an answer compared to your last answer. They will work off of your past paperwork. They ask the same question in three different ways to try & trip you up.

& review your day in your head -- & don't minimize anything you can't do anymore. It's not the time to be shy or hold back --

Of course, if your papers are too complete -- it's best to list that someone assisted you in completing forms.
Thanks for this!
