Abstract: 38 U.S.C 1315 established Dependency Indemnity Compensation to Parents (known as Parents’ DIC). Parent’s DIC is a monthly benefit payable to the parent(s) of a deceased Veteran. The payable monthly benefit is based on the parent’s (parents’) annual income. Additional funds are payable to the parent(s) if they are in a patient in a nursing home, blind, so nearly blind or significantly disabled as to need or require the regular aid and attendance of another person. 38 CFR 3.59 defines the term parent as ‘‘ . . . a natural mother or father (including the mother of an illegitimate child or the father of an illegitimate child if the usual family relationship existed), mother or father through adoption, or a person who for a period of not less than 1 year stood in the relationship of a parent to a Veteran at any time before his or her entry into active service.’’ The information collected will be used by VBA to evaluate a claimant’s parental relationship to a deceased Veteran when the claimant is not the Veteran’s natural mother or father or adopted mother or father. This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The burden has decreased due to the number of receivables over the past year with no substantive changes. 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.

Continued eligibility to benefits at the full-dollar rate cannot be determined without complete information about a veteran’s or beneficiary’s residency. No substantive changes have been made to this form. However, the burden estimate has decreased due to (1) a decrease in the number of minutes it takes to fill out the form, and (2) the respondent total has also decreased since the previous approval due to the estimated number of receivables averaged over the past year. Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Estimated Annual Burden: 75 hours. Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 5 minutes. Frequency of Response: One time.

father (including the mother of an illegitimate child or the father of 
an illegitimate child if the usual family relationship existed), mother 
or father through adoption, or a person who for a period of not less
