Abstract:
A claimant uses VAF 28-1905m to request supplies or equipment be provided as part of a rehabilitation program under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 31. The training facility the claimant attends, or the employer for whom the claimant works, may also need to complete the form when the facility or employer requires specific types of supplies or equipment under 38 U.S.C. 3104(a)(7). The VR&E program subsequently uses the information on this form to approve the purchase of appropriate supplies and equipment for claimants. Without the information gathered on this form, it is likely that inappropriate supplies or equipment may be provided which would negatively impact both the VA and the claimant.

Short Statement:
The VR&E program experienced an increase in rehabilitation plans developed since the last submission and VAF 28-1905m is used during the rehabilitation planning process. This increase in plans results in an increase in the use of VAF 28-1905m. The individual respondent burden decreased from one hour to 30 minutes. This decrease is associated with VAF 28-1905m only being used for the initial request of the supplies/equipment as opposed to also being used for receipt confirmation upon the supplies/equipment being delivered. A new form, VAF 28-1905r, is being developed for the purpose of verifying that the supplies/equipment have been received. Additionally, the items on VAF 28-1905m were reviewed and it was determined that the average claimant could complete the items in 30 minutes or less.
