Authority: Public Law 115–55; 38 

U.S.C. 3501–3521. 

Title: Decision Review Request: 

Higher-Level Review (VA Form 20– 

0996). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0862. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA Form 20–0996, Decision 

Review Request: Higher-Level Review is 

used by a claimant to formally request 

a Higher-Level Review of an initial VA 

decision, in accordance with the 

Appeals Modernization Act. The 

information collected is used by VA to 

identify the issues which the claimant 

wishes to dispute in their request for a 

Higher-Level Review. Additionally, the 

information collected is used to 

schedule a telephonic informal 

conference, when requested. 

This is being submitted as a revision 

due to an increase in the burden hours 

based on an increase in the number of 

respondents using this form. There were 

minor changes made to the instructions 

to make the instructions easier to 

understand and the requirement to sign 

in ink was removed. Minor changes 

were also made to the Optional Informal 

Conference and Issues for Higher-Level 

Review sections to make these sections 

easier for claimants to understand and 

complete. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 49,650 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 15 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: One time. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

198,600. 

By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer, (Alt.) Office of 

Enterprise and Integration/Data Governance
