Public Law 110-389, Section
221(a)directs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to
expeditiously process fully developed compensation and pension
claims within 90 days after receipt of the claim. The VA Forms
21-526EZ and 21-527EZ are used because the law requires that the
claimant and the representative submit a certification in writing
that is signed and dated by the claimant stating that, as of such
date, no additional information or evidence is available or needs
to be submitted in order for the claim to be adjudicated.
Burden has decreased due to the
removal of the VA Form 21-534EZ, Application for DIC, Death
Pension, and/or Accrued Benefits, information collection (IC) from
control number 2900-0747. It has been assigned to OMB control
number 2900-0004, since it has been transferred to Pension &
Fiduciary Service (21P). VA will retain all other ICs under OMB
control number 2900-0747 until pending substantive revisions are
complete. At which time, VA will request separate OMB control
numbers for each IC.
