Currently Approved Collection.
Abstract: The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), through its Veterans

benefits, specifically an amount equal to
amounts paid by a claimant or
beneficiary for unreimbursed medical

unreimbursed medical expenses for the
purpose of reducing their countable
income associated with needs-based
benefit programs such as VA Pension

Indemnity Compensation (DIC).
Unreimbursed medical expenses are
deducted from otherwise countable
income to determine eligibility for
income-based benefits and the rate
payable.

households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 48,200
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per

Frequency of Response: One time.
