SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1503.
    Title: Report of Medical, Legal, and Other Expenses Incident to 
Recovery for Injury or Death (VA Form 21P-8416b).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0545.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: Information is requested by this form under the authority 
of 38 U.S.C. 1503. Regulatory authority is found in 38 CFR 3.262, 
3.271, and 3.272. A claimant's eligibility for pension is determined, 
in part, by countable family income and certain deductible expenses.
    VBA uses VA Form 21P-8416b to gather information that is necessary 
to determine eligibility for income-based benefits and the rate 
payable. When a claimant is awarded compensation by another entity or 
government agency based on personal injury or death, the compensation 
is usually countable income for VA purposes (38 CFR 3.262(i)). However, 
medical, legal or other expenses incident to the injury or death, or 
incident to the collection or recovery of the compensation, may be 
deducted from the amount of the award or settlement (38 CFR 3.271(g) 
and 3.272(g)).
    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 at 82 FR 22056 on October 12, 2017.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1,125 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 45 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,500.

    By direction of the Secretary:
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Quality, Privacy and Risk, 
Department of Veterans Affairs.
