Elderly and other dependent relatives

Please would you be able to advise me as to whether this application is to be made online only
(https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome)
or can this be done using the paper form VAF8A
(https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ix-1-vaf4a)
If the online form is used, there seems to be very little space provided for "additional information"
Any responses much appreciated

You asked the same question in 2011 (posts now merged). Did you not make the application back then? It would have been much easier than now as the rules have changed and become virtually impossible to get this visa now since July 2012.
