Description

Many Veterans expressed frustration in not being able to find the DD214 in response to their search on Find a form. GA4 shows variants of DD214 as a search term 14,703 times between August and December 2024 -> it was the 11th most common numeric search.

In this Spike, Randi identified, and Michelle approved, the following improvement to specifically address this issue.

Requirements for this ticket

When "DD214" is searched (in its various forms / capitalization), amend the "no results" text area to add a line under the existing "No results" text (as a link) that says: "Need to request your military records including DD214?"

User story

AS A Veteran who needs to request their DD214 and is using the Find a VA form app to search for the form
I WANT to see additional information under the text that says it wasn't found showing me where I can go to request it
SO THAT I'm not frustrated by my experience and can follow that link to make my request.
