In these situations, VBA uses VA Form 21P– 8416 Medical Expense Report, to gather PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47375 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.
