Title: Medical Expense Report VA
Form 21P8416.
OMB Control Number: 29000161.
Type of Review: Extension of a previously approved collection.
Abstract: A claimants eligibility for needs-based pension programs are determined in part by countable family income and certain deductible expenses. 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 3.262i. However, medical, legal or other expenses incident to the injury or death, or incident to the collection or recovery of compensation, may be deducted from the amount of the award or settlement 38 CFR 3.271g and 3.272g. In these situations, VBA uses VA Form 21P
8416 Medical Expense Report, to gather information that is necessary to determine eligibility for income-based benefits and the rate payable; without this information, determination of eligibility would not be possible. This is an extension only with no substantive changes. The burden remains the same.
