When you are completing the paperwork, please make sure that every single box has something marked in it. Blank areas can cause the VA to kick the application back for additional information. Use a zero (0), X, or N/A.
-
The Veteran will need to sign each form or they can place an X. If an X is used, the VA requires that two witnesses sign next to each of the X's on each signature.
