(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1503; 38 CFR
3.262, 3.271 & 3.272.
Title: Report of Medical, Legal, and
Other Expenses Incident to Recovery for
Injury or Death (VA Form 21P–8416b).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0545.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: A claimant’s eligibility for
needs-based pension programs are
determined in part by countable family
income and certain deductible
expenses. When a claimant is awarded
compensation by another entity or
government agency based on personal
injury or death, the compensation is
usually countable income for VA
purposes (38 CFR 3.262(i)). However,
medical, legal or other expenses
incident to the injury or death, or
incident to the collection or recovery of
compensation, may be deducted from
the amount of the award or settlement
(38 CFR 3.271(g) and 3.272(g)). In these
situations, VBA uses VA Form 21P–
8416b Report of Medical, Legal and
Other Expenses Incident to Recovery for
Injury or Death, to gather information
that is necessary to determine eligibility
for income-based benefits and the rate
payable; without this information,
determination of eligibility would not
be possible.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,125
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 45 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,500.
By direction of the Secretary.
