Abstract: VA Form 21–0958, will be
used by the Veteran to initiate an appeal

(RO). Historically, VBA commenced a
pilot program on March 1, 2012 and
provided the NOD in all decision and
notification letters at the pilot location.
VA Form 21–0958, is the first step in the
appeal process. The respondent may or
may not continue with an appeal to the
Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA). If the

appeal, this form will be included in the
claim folder as evidence. VA will
provide VA Form 21–0958 to claimants
with the notification letter of the
decision in paper form, via hyperlink to
VA’s Web site, or through its electronic
claims processing system. The use of
VA Form 21–0958 is mandatory when
claimants want to initiate an appeal
from a decision on disability
compensation claims dated on or after
March 24, 2015.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 72,000.
Estimated Average Burden per
