    Title: Application for Exclusion of Children's Income, VA Form 21-
0571.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0510.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The information collected on VA Form 21-0571 is used to 
determine whether children's income can be excluded from consideration 
in determining a parent's eligibility for non-service connected 
pension. A veteran's or surviving spouse's rate of Improved Pension is 
determined by family income. Normally, income of children who are 
members of the household is included in this determination. However, 
children's income may be excluded if it is unavailable or if including 
that income would cause a hardship.
    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 January 19, 2005, at pages 3105-3106.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 2,025 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 45 minutes.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,700.

    Dated June 13, 2005.

    By direction of the Secretary.
