Title 38 U.S.C. 5101(a) provides that a
specific claim in the form provided by
the Secretary must be filed in order for
benefits to be paid to any individual
under the laws administered by the
Secretary. 38 U.S.C 1315 established
Dependency Indemnity Compensation
to Parents (known as Parents’ DIC).
Parent’s DIC is a monthly benefit
payable to the parent(s) of a deceased
Veteran. The payable monthly benefit is
dependent on the parent’s (parents’)
annual income. Additional funds are
payable to the parent(s) if they are in a
patient in a nursing home, blind, so
nearly blind or significantly disabled as
to need or require the regular aid and
attendance of another person.
38 CFR 3.59 defines the term parent
as ‘‘. . . a natural mother or father
(including the mother of an illegitimate
child or the father of an illegitimate
child if the usual family relationship
existed), mother or father through
adoption, or a person who for a period
of not less than 1 year stood in the
relationship of a parent to a Veteran at
any time before his or her entry into
active service.’’
The information collected will be
used by VBA to evaluate a claimant’s
parental relationship to a deceased
Veteran when the claimant is not the
Veteran’s natural mother or father or
adopted mother or father.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 800 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 2 hours (120 Minutes).
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
400.
By direction of the Secretary.

Quality, Performance, and Risk (OQPR),
