OMB Control Number: 2900–0659. Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection. Abstract: VA Forms 21–0781 and 21– 0781a are used to gather information about stressful incidents in service from veterans claiming compensation for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The forms request the information that is necessary for VA to conduct meaningful research of records in order to assist claimants in obtaining credible supporting evidence that the incidents occurred. Without this collection of information, VA would not be able to fulfill its statutory duty to assist for claimants and would be unable to properly authorize benefits. No changes have been made to these forms. The increase in respondent burden is due to the estimated number of receivables from the previous year. 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 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 85 FR 216 on November 6, 2020, pages 71139 and 71140.
