Abstract
This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adjudication regulations regarding eligibility verification reports (EVRs) for income-based benefits. This amendment implements legislation which eliminated the mandatory requirement for submission of EVRs on an annual basis from recipients of pension or parents' dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) and gives VA discretionary authority to require such reports where necessary to determine eligibility. This amendment sets forth the guidelines that the Secretary will use in exercising this discretionary authority.
