Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VBA administers an
integrated program of of benefits and
services established by law for Veterans,
service personnel, and their dependents,
survivors, and/or beneficiaries. A
claimant’s eligibility for pension
benefits or Parents’ Dependency and
Indemnity Compensation (DIC) is
determined, in part, by countable
income. VA Form 21P–4185 Report of
Income from Property or Business, is
used to report income and expenses that
derived from rental property and/or the
operation of a business. VBA uses this
form to determine whether the claimant
is eligible for VA benefits and, if
eligibility exists, the proper rate of
payment. In an effort to safeguard
Veterans and their beneficiaries from
financial exploitation, the instructions
on VA Form 21P–4185 were amended to
include information regarding VAaccredited attorneys or agents charging
fees in connection with a proceeding
before the Department of Veterans
Affairs with respect to a claim.
