Information Collection.)
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Caregivers and Veterans
Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010
(Pub. L. 111–163) enacted 38 U.S.C.
1720G, which directed the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a
Program of Comprehensive Assistance
for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) and a
Program of General Caregiver Support
Services (PGCSS). VA’s regulations
implementing PCAFC and PGCSS are in
38 CFR part 71. Both programs are
managed by VA’s Caregiver Support
Program (CSP) Office. On June 6, 2018,
the President signed into law the John
S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and
Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining
Internal Systems and Strengthening
Integrated Outside Networks Act of
2018 or the VA MISSION Act 2018 (Pub.
L. 115–182). The VA MISSION Act of
2018 expanded the PCAFC to Family
Caregivers of eligible Veterans of all eras
in a phased approach, established new
benefits for Primary Family Caregivers
of eligible Veterans, and made other
changes affecting program eligibility

and VA’s evaluation of PCAFC
applications.
Since program inception, Veterans
and caregivers who disagree with a
PCAFC decision were afforded the right
to appeal through the Veterans Health
Administration (VHA) Clinical Appeals
Process. A 2021 Court ruling in the case
of Jeremy Beaudette & Maya Beaudette
v. Denis McDonough, Secretary of
Veterans Affairs changed the appeal and
review options available to individuals
who have received a PCAFC decision
and disagree with that decision. In that
case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for
Veterans Claims ruled in favor of
petitioners seeking review by the Board
of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) of
decisions under the PCAFC. As a result
of the Court’s ruling, BVA review is now
available to individuals who have
received a decision under the PCAFC
since the program began in May 2011.
Consequently, VA expanded options
available to Veterans and caregivers
who seek review of or to appeal a
PCAFC decision.
The options include a separate
appeals process (legacy) that must be
used to appeal to the Board regarding
PCAFC decisions issued before February
19, 2019. The legacy process is
implemented through use of VA Form
10–306, which allows Veterans and
caregivers to request information about
past PCAFC decisions to determine

Frm 00109

whether they wish to pursue an appeal
to the Board or request review. VA
projects the submission of a lower
number of 10–306 forms going forward
because the annual number of requests
following the court decision has been
decreasing over time. CSP is
discontinuing VA Form 10–307, which
previously was included in this
collection, as the form is no longer
necessary and will become obsolete.
There is a commensurate decrease in the
burden hours for this collection due to
the discontinuance and removal of VA
Form 10–307 and the anticipated
decrease in the number of 10–306 forms
that will be received annually by VA.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 12,500
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once
annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50,000.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
