Title: Veterans’ Health Benefits
Handbook Questionnaire—VA Form 10–
0507.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0773.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Veterans’ Health
Benefits Handbook is available to all
enrolled Veterans. The Handbook
contains general eligibility and benefits
information and most importantly,
information specific to the Veteran.
VHA seeks approval for this collection
to provide Veterans an opportunity to
provide anonymous feedback on the
content and presentation of the material
contained in the Handbook. VHA will
use the information gathered to
determine how well the Handbook
meets Veterans’ needs and make
changes to the Handbook where needed.
This voluntary survey will not be used
as a substitute for traditional program
evaluation surveys that measure
objective outcomes. To maximize the
voluntary response rates, the
information collection will be designed
to foster convenient, simple and barrier
free participation. The data collected
will consist of the minimum amount of
information necessary to determine
