Veterans who served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during a wartime period and meet the VA income and net worth limits should file the 21 527EZ form for a non-service-connected pension. Veterans aged 65 or older, or those with a permanent total disability, may qualify regardless of financial need. Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits may also be requested on this application.
Completing the VA Form 21P-527EZ requires your military service history, Social Security number, current income and net worth, medical treatment records, and information about dependents. The form identifies records at Federal facilities such as VA medical centers. If you receive treatment from private providers, you will need to submit VA Form 21-4142 to authorize release of those records. Veterans filing for disability compensation should use VA Form 21-526EZ instead.
The FDC Program included in the 21P-527EZ application is an optional track that can speed up claim processing. By certifying that you have submitted all supporting evidence at filing time, you may receive a faster decision without risking potential benefits. Veterans with dependents may also need to file VA Form 21-686C to declare their dependent status.
