SUBJ: Pension Consolidation Procedures

Purpose

The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) is consolidating original live and death pension claims from the 57 Home Regional Offices (HROs) to three Pension Maintenance Centers (PMCs) located in Philadelphia, St. Paul, and Milwaukee. Dual claims (having both compensation and pension issues) will be consolidated next fiscal year. The objectives of consolidation are to improve accuracy, timeliness, and administration of the need-based programs.
