Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 87
FR 187, make the following corrections.
On page 58945, under the heading
‘‘Abstract,’’ please correct and replace
the language with, ‘‘VA Form 21–526EZ
is used to collect the information
needed to process a claim for disability
compensation and related compensation
benefits. Though, this form was initially
created to be used to submit fully
developed claims (FDC), it has evolved
into a standard claim form to be used for
any benefit associated with disability
compensation; to include new or initial
claims and claims for increase.
The respondent burden for VA Form
21–526EZ has increased due to: the
number of receivables averaged over the
past year, general program changes—
such as regulatory changes, and the
continuing improvement of VA’s
electronic claims processing systems.
VA Form 21–526EZ has been
updated, to include: new instructions
on presumptive service connection; the
GENDER question has been removed; a
new Section IV: Exposure Information,
including new questions that identify
toxic exposures the claimant may have
been exposed to during service; and an
‘Addendum’ has been added to provide
additional space for disabilities if the
claimant has more than the space
provided in Section V: Claim
Information.
