OMB Control Number: 2900–0572.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Abstract: VA Form 21–0304 is used to
determine the monetary allowance for a

birth defects who is the natural child of
a Vietnam and certain Korea service

would be unable to effectively
administer 38 U.S.C. 1805 or 38 U.S.C.

updated to include; a new standardized
format with sectional formatting and
additional signature sections for
witnesses, alternate, and power of
attorney signers. This is a nonsubstantive change and does not
increase the burden estimate.
