SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1522.
    Title: Request for Details of Expenses, VA Form 21P-8049.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0138.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21P-8049 is primarily used to gather the 
necessary information to determine eligibility for VA Pension. Without 
VA Form 21P-8049, VA will not be able to properly evaluate the totality 
of a claimant's circumstances when considering an application for 
benefits. VA will also be unable to evaluate the totality of claimant's 
circumstances when VA receives evidence of a significant increase in 
the corpus of a claimant's estate. The collection is conducted on a 
one-time basis and cannot be conducted less frequently. The respondent 
burden has decreased due to the number of receivables over the past 
year with non substantive and substantive changes. These changes 
include updated instructions, reformatting to include optical character 
recognition boxes, and renumbering section headers and questions.
    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 87 FR 56151 on September 13, 2022, pages 
56151 and 56152.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 218 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 871 per year.

    By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer, (Alt) Office of Enterprise and Integration,
