VA is proposing to reduce application paperwork by nearly two thirds, and cut the time needed to apply for benefits by nearly one third
The Department of Veterans Affairs announced a proposal to cut the amount of paperwork and time it takes for Veterans to apply for VA benefits.
VA published proposals in June to reduce the paperwork burden for Veterans seeking disability compensation benefits (on VA Form 21-526EZ), as well as Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, survivor’s pension, and accrued benefits (on VA Form 21-534EZ).
By simplifying instructions and reducing redundant elements on these applications, VA is proposing to cut the disability compensation application form from 15 pages to 5 pages. VA estimates the new form would take applicants 15 minutes to complete instead of the 25 minutes it currently takes.
VA is also proposing to cut the DIC application from 20 pages to 7 pages and cut the time to complete the application to an estimated 25 minutes, down from 40 minutes.
