surviving children. A claimant’s
eligibility for pension is determined, in
part, by countable family income and
net worth. Income information is
requested by this form under the
authority of 38 U.S.C. 1506.
VBA uses VA Form 21P–0784 to
gather income information that is
necessary to determine eligibility for
Pension benefits. Entitlement to pension
cannot be determined without complete
information about a claimant’s family
income and net worth. Claimants
residing in the Philippines have
different types of income than claimants
residing in the United States, and this
form better captures those types of
income than other VA Pension forms.
An agency may not conduct or

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1521, 38 U.S.C

Title: Application for Exclusion of
Children’s Income (VA Form 21P–0571).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0510.
Type of Review: Reinstatement
without change of a previously
approved collection.
Abstract: A veteran’s or surviving
spouse’s rate of Improved Pension is
determined by family income.
Normally, income of children who are
members of the household is included
in this determination. However,
children’s income may be excluded if it
is unavailable or if consideration of that
income would cause hardship.
38 U.S.C. 1521(h) and 1541(g) provide
the authority for the exclusion of
children’s income based on
unavailability or hardship. VA Form
21P–0571, Application for Exclusion of
Children’s Income, is being transferred
from Compensation Service to Pension
and Fiduciary Service, due to changes
in business lines.
VA Form 21P–0571 is used for the
sole purpose of collecting the
information needed to determine
whether children’s income is available
to the beneficiary, and if it would cause
hardship to consider their income.
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. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period

of information was published at 82 FR
