If you want to indicate that the amount awarded has been decreased or removed for a request, while retaining a record of the original installments, you can add a negative installment to the request.
This is the appropriate action if you want to decrease the amount awarded and keep a record of the original installments. If you need to simply remove an installment, and do not want to retain a record of the original installments, refer to Remove an Installment instead.
