of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Titles: Former Prisoner of War
Medical History.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0427.
Type of Review: Revision.
Abstract: VA Form 10–0048, Former
POW Medical History, is used to collect
data in response to Public Law 97–37,
the ‘‘Former Prisoner of War Benefits
Act of 1981,’’ that liberalizes eligibility
requirements and extends the existing
benefits. Additionally, the National
Advisory Committee on Former
Prisoners Of War requires this
information for their annual submission
to Congress.
VA physician will obtain the
information on the VA Form 10–0048
during a medical examination. If these
questions were not asked, the physician
would be unable to assess the health
care, disability compensation or
rehabilitation needs of the Former
Prisoner Of War (FPOW). The
importance of collecting this very
detailed information when the veteran
is first seen is critical, not only with the
physician evaluating the veteran but
also by the rating specialist who will
rate this claim. The rater also reviews
the statements given by the veteran on
this form not only at the first claim
submission but in future years when
other disabilities are claimed. Feedback
from POW physicians in the field
indicates their appreciation of the well
thought out content and structure of the
form. It is useful not only for
Compensation and Pension
examinations but also as a guide and
reference for treatment planning for the
FPOW patient. The questions in the
form make it relevant for FPOWS of
current as well as prior conflicts.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 113
burden hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 90 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
75.
By direction of the Secretary.
