Abstract: A Claimant's eligibility for Pension is determined, in
part, by countable family income and net worth. Any individual who has
applied for, or receives, VA Pension or Parents' Dependency and
Indemnity Compensation (DIC) must promptly notify the VA in writing of
any change in entitlement factors. VBA uses Eligibility Verification
Reports (EVRs) to receive income and net worth information from Pension
and Parents DIC claimants and beneficiaries to evaluate eligibility for
benefits. The reported information can result in increased or decreased
benefits. Typically, the claimants and beneficiaries utilize the form
to notify the VA of changes in the income and net worth, though the
forms could be used to reopen a claim for benefits in limited
circumstances. In an effort to safeguard Veterans and their
beneficiaries from financial exploitation, the instructions on forms
within this collection were amended to include information regarding
VA-accredited attorneys or agents charging fees in connection with a
proceeding before the Department of Veterans Affairs with respect to a
claim. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published at 86 FR 67 on April 9, 2021, page 18588.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 34,500 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 69,000.
By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer (Alternate), Office of Enterprise and
Integration, Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
