VA 21P-527EZ consists of 12 pages. The first four pages include FDC criteria, explanation of FDC benefits, comparison of FDC and Standard Claim Process, and the list of evidence necessary to provide to substantiate the pension claim.

The last two pages are additional worksheets in case you are claiming reimbursement for an in-home attendant, assisted living facility, adult daycare, or similar expenses. Filing instructions are as follows:

  1. Enter your basic identification, contact, and claim information in Section I. If you claim a pension based on disability rather than age 65 or older, it is necessary to list here all disabilities that prevent you from working and the list of the center where you were treated.
  2. Your detailed military service data must be indicated in Section II. The fields of this part are self-explanatory.
  3. Provide details about the disabilities that prevent you from working in Section III. This section should also include full information about all your employment for one year before you became disabled.

  5. If you have any dependent children (including biological, adopted, or stepchildren) whether living with you or not, indicated this in Section VI.
  6. Provide your and your dependents' (if any) income and assets in Section VII. If the space provided is not enough, you may attach a separate sheet.

  8. Section IX is for direct deposit information. If you have no bank account, you must receive pension payments through Direct Express Debit MasterCard.
