Title 38 U.S.C. 5101(a) provides that a
specific claim in the form provided by
the Secretary must be filed for benefits
to be paid to any individual under the
laws administered by the Secretary. VA
Form 21P–509 is the prescribed form for
to gather income and dependency
information from claimants who are
seeking payment of benefits as, or for, a
dependent parent. This information is
necessary to determine dependency of
the parent and make determinations
which affect the payment of monetary
benefits. VA Form 21P–509 is used by
a Veteran seeking to establish their
parent(s) as dependent(s), and by a
surviving parent seeking death
compensation. Without this
information, determination of
entitlement would not be possible.
