We have enhanced the functionality on this form in Section III Items 14A-16A. In the “Previous VA Loans” section, the form states that if additional space is needed for all homes use “Item 18, Remarks or attach a separate sheet”. Items 14A-16A provide space for 3 previous loans and lenders would need to manually input the additional previous loans in the “Item 18, Remarks” section.    We will now be using a separate sheet if there are more than 3 up to 6 previous loans sent to us in the payload. This change will be effective July 21, 2023.
