Title: Request for Details of Expenses, VA Form 21P-8049.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0138.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 21P-8049 is primarily used to gather the necessary information to determine eligibility for VA Pension. Without VA Form 21P-8049, VA will not be able to properly evaluate the totality of a claimant's circumstances when considering an application for benefits. VA will also be unable to evaluate the totality of claimant's circumstances when VA receives evidence of a significant increase in the corpus of a claimant's estate. The collection is conducted on a one-time basis and cannot be conducted less frequently. The respondent burden has decreased due to the number of receivables over the past year with non substantive and substantive changes. These changes include updated instructions, reformatting to include optical character recognition boxes, and renumbering section headers and questions.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 218 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 871 per year.
By direction of the Secretary.
Maribel Aponte,
VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of Enterprise and Integration/Data Governance Analytics, Department of Veterans Affairs.
