the historical versions of this
Information Collection).
Type of Review: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved
collection.
Abstract: VA Form 28–0791, Pre and
Post Independent Living Assessment
(IL) is used by the Vocational
Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) during
the initial and post IL evaluations.
During this face-to-face meeting, the
VRC identifies impairments and or
barriers the Veteran may be
experiencing with Activities of Daily
Living (ADLs). The VRC then uses this
information to identify the needs for
services. The VRC compares the
information obtained from the
preliminary and post plan assessments
to determine if there are improvements
in the Veteran’s activities of daily living.
Without the information gathered on
this form, VR&E is not able to identify
IL needs and provide needed services.
There are no other invitations or other
communications sent to the respondent
associated with the information
collection. Failure to collect this
information would have a detrimental
impact upon the determination of
appropriate rehabilitation goals for
Veterans participating in the IL
program. This would negatively impact
the Veteran’s participation in his or her
rehabilitation program.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 906 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Two times.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
906 per year.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
