The Veterans Benefits Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This new form, VA Form 20-0995, titled Decision Review Request: Supplemental Claim, allows claimants to request a review of a VA decision based on new evidence. The collection targets individuals or households, estimating an annual burden of 66,250 hours with 265,000 respondents. The public is invited to submit comments within 30 days of this notice’s publication.
Simple Explanation
The Veterans Benefits Administration is asking for permission to use a new form to help people who want to show new proof when they disagree with a decision about their benefits. They think it will take a lot of time for all the people to fill it out, but they're not exactly sure how they figured that out.
