SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Veterans Application for Assistance in Acquiring Special
Housing Adaptations, VA Form 26-4555d.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0300.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Title 38, U.S.C. 2101 authorizes assistance to disabled
Veterans in acquiring special housing and adaptations to dwellings.
Under 38 U.S.C. 2101(b), grants are available to assist Veterans in
making adaptations to their current residences or one which they intend
to live in as long as the home is owned by the Veteran or a member of
the Veteran's family. VA Form 26-4555d enables field personnel to
evaluate the request for adaptations. This form is needed because of
the difference in disabilities, the amount of alteration, adaptation to
the house and title requirements.
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 soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published on February 13, 2013, at pages 10266-10267.
