Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), administers an integrated program of benefits and services established by law for veterans, service personnel, and their dependents and/or beneficiaries. 38 U.S.C. § 1522 Net Worth Limitation provides that VBA will deny or discontinue payment of pension benefits if it is reasonable that some part of the corpus of the claimant’s or beneficiary’s estate be consumed for his or her maintenance. VA codified this requirement at 38 CFR §3.274. VBA uses the information collected on this form as evidence of additional circumstances which may affect entitlement determinations pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1522. The information is used as a counterbalance to a claimant’s substantial estate and/or annual income.
