Title: Veterans’ Health Benefits 

Handbook Questionnaire—VA Form 10– 

0507. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0773. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Veterans’ Health 

Benefits Handbook is available to all 

enrolled Veterans. The Handbook 

contains general eligibility and benefits 

information and most importantly, 

information specific to the Veteran. 

VHA seeks approval for this collection 

to provide Veterans an opportunity to 

provide anonymous feedback on the 

content and presentation of the material 

contained in the Handbook. VHA will 

use the information gathered to 

determine how well the Handbook 

meets Veterans’ needs and make 

changes to the Handbook where needed. 

This voluntary survey will not be used 

as a substitute for traditional program 

evaluation surveys that measure 

objective outcomes. To maximize the 

voluntary response rates, the 

information collection will be designed 

to foster convenient, simple and barrier 

free participation. The data collected 

will consist of the minimum amount of 

information necessary to determine 

customer satisfaction. The areas of 

concern to VHA and its customers 

change rapidly and it is essential to 

have the ability to evaluate customer 

concerns in a timely manner. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 135 hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 5 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,060. 

By direction of the Secretary.

Department Clearance Officer, Office of 

Quality and Compliance, Department of 

Veterans Affairs.
