VA Form 21P-601 is used to gather information that is necessary to determine entitlement to accrued benefits, amounts of VA benefits due and unpaid to a deceased beneficiary at the time of death. Benefits are paid to survivors based on the order of preference shown in 38 U.S.C. 5121; however, when there are no eligible survivors, benefits may be paid as reimbursement to the person or persons who bore the expenses of the beneficiary's last illness and burial. Without this information, VA would be unable to properly authorize benefits.
