Approval through February, 1987 with the following conditions: 1. VA must revise the form so it is consistent with recently approved VA forms 2900-0101 and 2900-0004. 2. In addition, VA should assess the utility of collecting income data for the 12 months preceding and following the application date rather than for the calendar year, and if this is not adopted, explain the rationale for retaining the present format. 3. VA should redefine net worth in Part VII so that debt equals medica expenses or debt is entirely deleted from the definition. 4. VA must submit the revised form not later than February 1, 1987.
