Example: for a baggage claim we might ask:
Step 6 - Now list the expenses you are claiming
We ask you to list any expenses you are claiming for one at a time. The type of claim will determine what type of expenses you are able to list.
Add your expenses one at a time and build up a list of the expenses you are claiming.
Example:
Step 7 - You've got e-mail!
We now understand your claim well enough, so check your email as we will have sent you instructions and a list of the documents we need.
