Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: VA Form 28-1905c is used to gather the necessary information to determine any changes in enrollment certification, and document
monthly progression and attendance as outlined in the claimant's vocational rehabilitation plan. This information is essential
to track the type and hours of training, as well as the rating of the claimant's performance toward the completion of his
or her training program under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 31 and 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35. Without the information gathered on this form,
benefits could be delayed under 38 U.S.C. 501(a). The estimated burden completion time for this form remains unchanged. However,
the burden time listed under the cost to the government section has been corrected from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, to accurately
reflect that payments are issued in 15-minute intervals.

Affected Public: Individuals and households.

Estimated Annual Burden: 264 hours.

Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 20 minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 791 per year.
