This revision combines the two previously approved forms under this collection number into one form: resulting in the discontinuance of the previously approved VA Form 21– 0781a, a new title, and a total reduction overall of burden on the claimant. 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.
