I need to know if there are other ways to change my contact information, other than online.
================
Yes, you can change your information by mail or phone, for example.
================
Would you like to know more about changing it by mail?
Yeah, of course.
In that case you'll need to fill out a VA Direct Deposit Enrollment VA Form 24-0296 and mail it to us.
================
Ok, I can do that. Will do that, in fact. Oh, and do I have to contact VA if my information need to be updated?
Yes, it's important to update your information with us if you change your marital status, have a baby, adopt a child, or experience any other life change that could affect your rating or payment.
================
I see, makes sense. What if my disability just took a turn for the worse? Do I need to report that too?
In that case, you can file a claim for an increase in benefits or file for a VA disability increase.
================
Back to the question before, what happens if I move or change my address? We're planning to move into a new home soon.
Make sure to update your contact information so we send information about your benefits and services as well as any prescriptions , lab test results, or appointment reminders you may need to the right location.
================
Ok, I put it on my list. Let's talk about disability increase again. What if my disability rating exceeds 30%?
If you have a disability rating of 30% or higher, you may be able to add eligible dependents to your VA disability compensation to get a higher payment also called a benefit rate.
