Abstract: The VA Form 28–1902w,
Information for Veteran Readiness and
Employment Entitlement Determination
is used by the Vocational Rehabilitation
Counselor (VRC) with the Veteran
during the comprehensive initial
evaluation after the VA receives an
application for Veteran or Service
member Readiness and Employment
benefits and has determined the Veteran
is eligible to apply for Chapter 31 under
Title 38 U.S.C. 3104(a) and 38 CFR
21.50. Use of the VA Form 28–1902w
will allow the VA counselor to use the
form to collect the information during
the initial evaluation. The information
is unique to each Veteran and must be
collected to assist with making an
entitlement determination during the
initial evaluation or the counselor
would not have enough information to
properly evaluate the Veteran’s
circumstances. The information is
collected only once. Information for
Veteran Readiness and Employment
Entitlement Determination takes
approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 48,097

Estimated Average Burden per
