Child, VA Form 21-4183.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0103.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21-4183 is used by a child under age 18 to apply 
for dependency and indemnity compensation where the surviving spouse

child age 18 or over regardless of the surviving spouse's entitlement. 
The form is used in lieu of VA Form 21-534, Application for Dependency 
and Indemnity Compensation or Death Pension by Widow(er) or Child, in 
order to help reduce the reporting burden of a child under 18 when 
information about the deceased veteran's spouse 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

information was published on July 6, 2001, at pages 35700-35701.
