Yes. I had those forms too. Then my therapist got a form with most of the same questions plus more about how he sees me functioning. Since I'd just gotten out of the hospital for the 2nd time in a few months he wrote a lot about that and about how limited I am in caring for myself and how working would be impossible for me and why he thought that.
I was so afraid too but it all was ok. I worry more about my next one because I'm doing better now that I'm on clozaril, although needing massive amounts of sleep from the med adds to the limitations I already had, I just am not cycling so much now. That's 2 years off so I guess improvement is a good problem for now at least. I just am terrified of being told I could work because I can't; I'm doing this well only because I'm not working. But I trust my doctors to convey that and my honest answers should too.
The good thing is you shouldn't have to wait terribly long. I think it was over in maybe a month. Much better than the initial application.
