Title: Request for Substitution of 

Claimant Upon Death of Claimant. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0740. 

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. 

Information requested by this form is 

authorized under the authority of 38 

U.S.C. 5121A, Payment of Certain 

Accrued Benefits Upon Death of a 

Beneficiary. VA Form 21P–0847, 

Application for Request to Substitute 

Claimant, will be used to allow 

claimants to request substitution for a 

claimant who passed away prior to VA 

processing a claim to completion. This 

is only allowed when a claimant dies 

while a claim or appeal for any benefit 

under a law administered by the VA is 

pending. The substitute claimant would 

be eligible to receive accrued benefits 

due a deceased claimant under Section 

5121(a). The substitute claim must be 

filed no later than one year after the date 

of the death of the claimant. By law, VA 

must have a claimant’s or beneficiary’s 

written permission (an ‘‘authorization’’) 

to be a substitute claimant. The claimant 

or beneficiary may revoke the 

authorization at any time, except if VA 

has already acted based on the 

permission. 

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. The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period
