Common confusion points
Confusing 'Interim Barring' vs. 'Emergency Barring'; they are related but have different urgency levels.
Not knowing which specific Section (6, 7, etc.) applies to your current Order.
Assuming that filling out the form automatically means the change is approved; it only means it is *requested*.
Mixing up whether you are applying for a *new* order or simply *varying* an existing one.
