Platform Issue

Design components or patterns don't align with Design System guidelines.

Issue Details

On Gross monthly income, when you select "Other income," a follow-up field is revealed. The label on that conditionally-revealed field just says "Please specify," which isn't a label that can be understood on its own.

Updated Figma Designs

The Figma design for this page has been updated with these changes.

VA.gov Experience Standard

Category Number 04, Issue Number 07

Other References

Use the approved design components/patterns. If you feel your feature needs something different, you will need to propose a solution, validate it through usability testing, and document the results.

Platform Recommendation

See the design system guidelines on conditionally revealed inputs:

The newly revealed question field must be understood by itself. For example, don’t just say “Other”. Say, “Since your relationship with the veteran was not listed, please describe it here”

Recommended copy to replace "Please specify"

Tell us the type of income.

[Additional request: Please tweak the question "What type of income?" to "What type of income do you, your spouse, or your dependents receive?"]
