OMB Control Number: 2900–0101.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: A Claimant’s eligibility for
Pension is determined, in part, by
countable family income and net worth.
Any individual who has applied for, or
receives, VA Pension or Parents’
Dependency and Indemnity
Compensation (DIC) must promptly
notify the VA in writing of any change
in entitlement factors. VBA uses
Eligibility Verification Reports (EVRs) to
receive income and net worth
information from Pension and Parents
DIC claimants and beneficiaries to
evaluate eligibility for benefits. The
reported information can result in
increased or decreased benefits.
Typically, the claimants and
beneficiaries utilize the form to notify
the VA of changes in the income and net
worth, though the forms could be used
to reopen a claim for benefits in limited
circumstances. In an effort to safeguard
Veterans and their beneficiaries from
