PRIVACY ACT INFORMATION: VA will not disclose information collected on this form to any source other than what has been authorized under the Privacy Act
of 1974 or Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations 1.576 for routine uses identified in the VA system of records, 58VA21/22, Compensation, Pension, Education and
Rehabilitation Records - VA, published in the Federal Register. Completion of this form is required to obtain or retain benefits. The responses you submit are considered
confidential (38 U.S.C. 5701).
RESPONDENT BURDEN: The form is used by the veteran and the trainer to provide sufficient information to justify a leave of absence. Veterans on approved leave
of absence continue receiving subsistence allowance. The information on the form prevents abuse of paid leave. The information collected is required by existing law
(38 U.S.C. 1510). We estimate that you will need an average of 15 minutes to review the instructions, find the information, and complete this form. VA cannot conduct
or sponsor a collection of information unless a valid OMB number is displayed. Valid OMB control numbers can be located on the OMB Internet Page at
