Currently using your site to support the arduous task of applying for the Aid & Assistance Pension.
1) Thank you for your site!!!
2) Here's some good info regarding completion of the VA 21-526, VA 21-524, VA 21-4138 and probably other forms that I haven't encountered yet. These forms can now be completed online at
https://vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp/main.aspUsing this site has several important advantages
* It's interactive.
** You're prompted to answer each question individually
** You can [usually] get online help about the question being asked.
* It's [sort of] intelligent.
** It filters the questions presented based on previous answers/selections. It's not nearly as "smart" as it could be, but it's smarter than a paper form!
** It validates answers and warns you of potential problems or errors
* You can save and return to edit before actually submitting the form.
** This allows you to research other online resources while attempting to complete the form
** It allows you incrementally complete the form. When you find that you must request information, you can save the form, request your information (EX: obtain copy of DD214), then return to edit/complete the form
Hope this helps.
