Translate a Confusing Government Form into a Plain Action List
The form is sitting in front of you and the instructions assume you already know things nobody told you. This works out what the form is really asking you to prove, lists the documents you need, and turns the whole thing into steps an ordinary person can finish without dread. For anyone facing official paperwork that reads like it was written to confuse.
