SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Application for Benefits for 

Certain Children with Disabilities Born 

of Vietnam and Certain Korea Service 

Veterans, VA Form 21–0304. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0572. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA Form 21–0304 is used to 

gather the necessary information to 

determine a claimant’s eligibility for a 

monetary allowance and appropriate 

level of payment. Under title 38 U.S.C 

1815, Children of Women Vietnam 

Veterans Born with Certain Birth 

Defects, authorizes payment of 

monetary benefits to, or on behalf of, 

certain children of female veterans who 

served in Republic of Vietnam. To be 

eligible, the child must be the biological 

child; conceived after the date the 

veteran first served in Vietnam during 

the period February 28, 1961 to May 7, 

1975; and have certain birth defects 

resulting in permanent physical or 

mental disability. 

Under title 38 U.S.C. 1805, Spina 

Bifida Benefits Eligibility, authorizes 

payment to a spina bifida child-claimant 

of parent(s) who performed active 

military, naval, or air service during the 

Vietnam era during the period January 

9, 1962 to May 7, 1975 or after the date 

the veteran first served in or near the 

demilitarized zone in Korea during the 

period September 1, 1967 to August 31, 

1971. The child must be the natural 

child of a Vietnam veteran, regardless of 

age or marital status, who was 

conceived after the date on which the 

veteran first entered the Republic of 

Vietnam during the Vietnam era. Spina 

Bifida benefits are payable for all types 

of spina bifida except spina bifida 

occulta. The law does not allow 

payment of both benefits at the same 

time. If entitlement exists under both 

laws, benefits will be paid under 38 

U.S.C. 1815. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number.
