VA Forms 21-526 and 21-526b are used to gather the necessary information to determine a veteran's eligibility, dependency, and income, as applicable, for the compensation and/or pension benefit sought. Without this information, determination of entitlement would not be possible.
VA Form 21-4142, is used to authorize the disclosure of information to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
VA Form 21-4142a, is used to gather private provider information from the claimant to the VA.
Burden increased because VA's Compensation Service added a new form to the icr 2900-0001. VA has newly created the VA Form 21-4142a, General Release for Medical Provider Information to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The new VA Form 21-4142a is created to gather Private Health Provider information from the claimant and is filled out in conjunction with the VA Form 21-4142 as this form does not require a signature. It is solely used by VA to gather information to be used to develop for private medical records.
