Title: Marital Status Questionnaire (VA Form 21P-0537).

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 21P-0537, Marital Status Questionnaire, is used
to confirm the marital status of a surviving spouse in receipt of
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits. If a surviving
spouse remarries, he or she is no longer entitled to DIC unless the
marriage began after age 55 or has been terminated. This is a revision.
The respondent burden has decreased due to the estimated number of
receivables averaged over the past year, no substantive changes have
been made to the form. The estimated number of
