Note here that @jstrothman mentioned during Sprint Review that when the team picks up this work, it should look broadly the design of the interactions here. It's more tricky than it looks.
closing this because our 5103 initiative encompasses this request.

Value Statement
As a Veteran using a screen reader or other assistive technology I want tobe able to ask the VA for a claim decision and not stumble over a disabled button So that I can accomplish my task more quickly.
Background Context
Bug
Issue description
URL:
/track-claims/your-claims/009_ClaimWithTrackedItems/ask-va-to-decide
The "Ask for your claim decision" page has a disabled submit button that only becomes active after you've activated the checkbox. Disabled buttons can cause confusion for screen reader users and others who use assistive technology. This isn't a WCAG violation, but strongly discouraged based on design system guidance.
It's worth noting that a similar pattern exist on the "Claim files" page (
/track-claims/your-claims/600351984/files
), and it doesn't have a disabled button. So a change here would align the two pages.This is a a11y-defect-4 issue.
Remediation guidance
Change the disabled button to a regular one, and include an error message if the checkbox isn't checked.
Does this impact visual design?
Yes, the button will change appearance and an error message will need to be included.
