The official home for VA health care, benefits, and services.
VA.gov is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' official website. It is the place to apply for, manage, and track your VA benefits, and it is the best starting point if you are not sure what you qualify for.
What you can do there
- Health care: apply for VA health care, refill prescriptions, schedule appointments, and message your care team.
- Disability compensation: file a claim for service-connected conditions and check your claim status.
- Education and training: use your GI Bill benefits and compare schools.
- Careers and employment: Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) and job resources.
- Housing: VA home loan guaranty and housing assistance.
- Life insurance, pension, and burial benefits for Veterans and their families.
If you need support right now
The Veterans Crisis Line is free, confidential, and available 24/7: Dial 988 then Press 1, text 838255, or chat online.

Eating disorder education, care navigation, and advocacy for service members, veterans, and military families.
Some of my most significant accomplishments were not achieved in spite of being the “only” — they were achieved because of it.
