SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Income, Asset and Employment Statement and Application for 
Veterans Pension.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0002.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21P-527EZ--The Department of Veterans Affairs 
(VA), through its Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), administers 
an integrated program of benefits and services, established by law, for 
veterans, service personnel, and their dependents and/or beneficiaries. 
Title 38 U.S.C. 5101(a) provides that a specific claim in the form 
provided by the Secretary must be filed in order for benefits to be 
paid to any individual under the laws administered by the Secretary. VA 
Form 21P-527EZ will be the prescribed form for Veterans Pension 
applications.
    VA proposes to remove VA Form 21-527EZ, Application for Veterans 
Pension, from OMB control number 2900-0747 and have it assigned to OMB 
control number 2900-0002 since the form has been transferred to Pension 
& Fiduciary Service (21P). Also, due to the change in business lines, 
we are changing the form prefix to 21P.
    VA Form 21P-527--This form will be used by Veterans to apply for 
pension benefits after they have previously applied for pension or for 
service-connected disability compensation using one of the prescribed 
forms under 38 U.S.C 5101(a). A veteran might reapply for pension if a 
previous compensation or pension claim was denied or discontinued, or 
if the veteran is receiving compensation and the veteran now believes 
that pension would be a greater benefit.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on August 7, 
2015 at [80 FR 152, pages 47563-47564].
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 59,230 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 0.50 hours (30 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: One-time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 118,197 respondents.

    By direction of the Secretary.
