  • 2

    Not knowing which specific Section (6, 7, etc.) applies to your current Order.

  • 3

    Assuming that filling out the form automatically means the change is approved; it only means it is *requested*.

  • 4

    Mixing up whether you are applying for a *new* order or simply *varying* an existing one.
