VA.gov Experience Standard - issue: User can't determine where a page is within the VA.gov website. VA.gov Experience Standard - category: Findability Launch-blocking: Yes Collab Cycle Reviewer: @erinrwhite (IA)

Description

Page doesn't accurately represent where the application is within VA.gov. The first segment of the URL matches the current page's H1, but second segment ""PACT Act"" doesn't represent an actual part of VA.gov.</p> <h2>Recommended action</h2> <p>Similar to other form flows, I recommend updating the title to <code>[SLUG] | Veterans Affairs</code> which can be the same across all pages. Example: <code>Learn how the PACT Act may affect you | Veterans Affairs</code> (Note: the income limits tool, which is similar to this tool, does not follow this pattern but should.)</p> <h2>References</h2> <ul> <li><strong>WCAG Success Criteria:</strong> N/A</li> <li><strong>Modality:</strong> N/A</li> <li><strong>Design System Component:</strong> N/A</li> <li><strong>Design System Pattern:</strong> N/A</li> <li><strong>Content Style Guide:</strong> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://design.va.gov/content-style-guide/page-titles-and-section-titles">Page titles and section titles</a></li> <li><strong>Context:</strong> N/A</li> <li><strong>Accessibility Defect Severity:</strong> N/A</li> </ul> <hr /> <h3>Next Steps for the VFS Team</h3> <ul> <li>[ ] <strong>Questions?</strong> For the most timely response, comment on Slack in your team channel tagging <code>@platform-governance-team-members</code> with any questions or to get help validating the issue.</li> <li>[ ] <strong>Ticket ownership:</strong> Platform OCTO leadership asks that we document all issues we identify.
