I noticed a posting about this form and had a question. Do you need to send in this form along with each piece of additional evidence? If so, why or does it help you? I started my claim late last year just with a letter to the VA asking for an increase of current disabilties as well as additional secondary service connected conditions. I have sent additional information to them, medical, etc. with only a letter from me on top of all evidence. I am on my second VCAA notice and the only time I used this form was to give them local VA information of where my husband had treatment. The 800# people told me if he went to a VA facility that I would not have to fill out this form, but when I got the second VCAA notice it said "if you have had treatment at a VA facility you need to fill out a 21-4138.

Have I been doing my claims wrong?
