Respondent Burden: We need this information to determine continued eligibility to compensation at the 100 percent rate based on individual unemployability (38 CFR
4.16). Title 38, United States Code, allows us to ask for this information. We estimate that you will need an average of 5 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 control number is displayed. You are not required
to respond to a collection of information if this number is not displayed. Valid OMB control numbers can be located on the OMB Internet Page at

compete Section I of this form. If you have not been employed during the past 12 months, complete Section II of this form.
