    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1163.

    Title: Veteran's Application for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability (VA Form 21-8940).

    OMB Control Number: 2900-0404.

    Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.

    Abstract: VA Form 21-8940 is used by veterans to apply for increased VA disability compensation based on the inability to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to service-connected disabilities. Without this information, entitlement to individual unemployability benefits could not be determined.

    This is a reinstatement only with no changes. The respondent burden has decreased due to the estimated number of receivables averaged over the past year.

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 86 FR 46 on March 11, 2021, pages 13968 and 13969.

    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 14,707.

    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 45 minutes.

    Frequency of Response: One time.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 19,609.
