    Title: Statement of Dependency of Parent(s) VA Form 21P-509.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0089.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Abstract: 38 U.S.C. 102 requires that income and dependency must be 
determined before benefits may be paid to, or for, a dependent parent. 
Regulatory authority is found in 38 CFR 3.4 and 38 CFR 3.250. 
Information is requested by this form under the authority of 38 U.S.C. 
501(a)(2).
    VA Form 21P-509 is used by VBA to gather income and dependency 
information from claimants who are seeking payment of benefits as, or 
for, a dependent parent. This information is necessary to determine 
dependency of the parent and make determinations which affect the 
payment of monetary benefits. The form is used by a veteran seeking to 
establish his/her parent(s) as dependent(s), and by a surviving parent 
seeking death compensation.
    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
