Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 21-526EZ is used to collect the information
needed to process a claim for disability compensation and/or related
compensation benefits. The form has evolved over time into a standard
claim form to be used for any benefit associated with disability
compensation; to include new or initial claims and claims for increase.
Without this information, determination of entitlement would not be
possible. No changes have been made to this collection of information
other than an increase in the burden estimate due to the number of
receivables averaged over the past year and through the continuing
improvement of VA's electronic claims processing systems.
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
