and their spouses, surviving spouses, 

and dependents, who file claims for a 

wide variety of Federal veteran’s 

benefits administered by VA at VA 

facilities located throughout the nation. 

See the statutory provisions cited in 

‘‘Authority for maintenance of the

administer these statutory benefits 

programs.

published in the Federal Register and
