- The introductory text now advertises additional transportation for a work-integrated learning placement, but this option still only covers a clinical or practicum placement. A student in another work-integrated-learning placement has no matching selection, and the related allowance question also remains limited to clinical/practicum placements. Add and map a supported work-integrated-learning option, or remove it from the introductory text.
"label": "I am in a clinical or practicum placement and the commute to the placement location takes more than two hours roundtrip from your neighborhood by the quickest/more direct route.",

- The new bullet is grammatically unclear (
takes more than two hours to your school roundtrip from your neighborhood) and changes the established phrase toquickest/more direct. Please use a consistent route order andquickest/most directhere and in the matching radio option.
"content": "<strong> Please confirm that you match the criteria below and are eligible for this exception category.</strong>\n<br />\nYou require additional financial support for transportation due to one of the following criteria:\n<ul>\n<li>There is no public transit, or public transit takes more than two hours to your school roundtrip from your neighborhood by the quickest/more direct route.</li>\n<li>I am in a clinical or practicum placement and the commute to the placement location takes more than two hours roundtrip from your neighborhood by the quickest/more direct route.</li>\n<li>I have special circumstances that require additional travel (work, family responsibilities, living distance from school).</li>\n</ul>",

- The new radio label is not grammatically complete (
for additional transportation allowance) and switches between the termsallowanceand singularcost. Because this is the Yes/No consent prompt, make the requested outcome explicit and use consistent terminology.
"label": "I have exceptional circumstances that meet the eligibility requirements to be considered for additional transportation allowance and want to be assessed for additional transportation cost.",

- This new paragraph is grammatically ambiguous: the first
ifclause is followed byyou must ...and then another comma-separated condition, so the relationship between the transit, commute, placement, and special-circumstance criteria is unclear. Use parallel criteria or an explicit list so applicants can determine eligibility.
"content": "If there is limited or no local transit where you live, you must commute more than one hour each way to and from your post-secondary institution, additional transportation for a work-integrated learning placement is required, or if you have special circumstances that require extra travel, you may be eligible for an additional transportation allowance.",
