We Represent Veterans Nationwide. Here Are Reviews From Just a Few Of Our Satisfied Clients:
REQUEST FOR DETAILS OF EXPENSES
VA Form 21P-8049
VA Form 21P-8049 is a Request for Details of Expenses.
This form is usually sent to a claimant to be completed when the Department of Veterans Affairs requires further information after the formal claim is filed.
The VA may request additional information because the adjudication manual directs the adjudicator to determine whether the claimant’s financial resources are sufficient to meet his/her basic needs without assistance from VA.
If a claimant’s assets are large enough that the claimant could use these assets to pay living expenses for a reasonable period, net worth is considered a bar.
The 21-8049 form may not be requested for every claim filed, but if it is requested, it can delay the claim process.
For that reason, some choose to include this form with every formal claim they file. Or, to complete this form only when a claimant has unusually high non-medical living expenses that should be made evident to the VA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does It Cost To Hire You?
It does not cost you anything to hire our Veterans Benefits Law Firm as your attorneys. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we win you an award. Our firm charges 20%, which is deducted by the VA from your lump sum payment for retroactive benefits.
How Long Will It Take To Appeal My Benefits Denial?
While it can take six months or more for a Veteran to receive a decision on his or her initial benefits claim from the Department of Veterans Affairs, appeals could take 2 years of more. The Department of Veterans Affairs lacks the funding to properly staff and process benefits applications. The number of applications from recently returning Veterans must be dealt with while the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to actively work towards providing services to prior generations of Veterans.
How Do I Increase My Disability Rating?
Great question! If the condition that you are actively receiving disability benefits for has now ultimately worsened over time, you can file an increased rating claim. It’s fairly simple, and it involves filing out an online claim form or mailing a letter to your regional office documenting the change in your condition.
