Can or should I give VA additional Evidence?

Yes.  You can send the VA more evidence to support a claim whether or not you appeal to the Board.  If you want to appeal, though, do not forget the one-year limit!

If you have more evidence to support a claim, it is in your best interest to give the VA that evidence as soon as you can.  The VA is supposed to consider your evidence and let you know whether it changes its decision.  Please keep in mind that the VA can only consider new evidence that: (1) it has not already seen and (2) relates to your claim.  You may give the VA this evidence either in writing or at a personal hearing.
