Abstract: The EVR forms are used to determine and verify entitlement to income-based VA benefits. The forms are tailored for the specific classes of beneficiaries of each benefit program and request information about income, net worth, dependency status and other entitlement factors. Without this information, VA would be unable to properly pay benefits.
