Short Statement: The increase in possible respondents using this form is due to the fact that the VA Insurance Service, after an extensive study of the TSGLI program, identified a number of new losses for which TSGLI benefits can be paid. These new losses have been approved by top management at VA and DoD. In order to begin making payments for these new benefits, the current TSGLI regulation, 38 CFR 9.20 needed to be amended, and the TSGLI application, now named SGLV 8600, had to be revised to allow medical professionals to provide information on the new losses. Some injured service members who previously might not have previously filed a TSGLI claim because they did not have a loss for which a benefit could be paid will now be able to do so because of the new covered losses.
