 There are 2 versions of the intro page:
 
-- **Application**: Use this variation if the form is an application for a benefit or service.
-- **Non-application**: In most cases, use this variation if the form is **not** an application for a benefit or service. For example, use this for [supporting forms](https://www.va.gov/supporting-forms-for-claims/) that people need to submit along with their application and for claims for reimbursement under VA health care programs.

-Both variations mostly follow the same structure. The only difference is the section after the intro paragraph:
-
-- Applications use a process list
-- Non-applications use a "What to know before you fill out this form" section
-
-**Note:** Some straightforward applications may not require a process list. It's OK to use the same structure as non-application forms for those.
+- **Process list**: Use this variation if the process of using the form is complicated enough that it warrants a process list. This variation provides more space to list information to gather before starting the form. In most cases, use this variation if the form is an initial claim or application for a VA benefit or a decision review request. 
+- **No process list**: In most cases, use this variation if the form is **not** an application for a benefit or service. For example, use this for [supporting forms](https://www.va.gov/supporting-forms-for-claims/) that people need to submit along with their application and for claims for reimbursement under VA health care programs. In place of the process list, this variation has a "What to know before you fill out this form" section.
