VA Compensation

An Introduction to VA Compensation

Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation may not be of immediate use to all of your clients due to eligibility criteria.


Tips:

If you believe your client may be eligible for VA Compensation, you or your client should contact VA by calling 1-800-827-1000. A representative is available to answer questions about benefit eligibility and the application process, and can advise you how about ways your client can apply in the most convenient way possible.

Each regional office has a Homeless Veteran Outreach Coordinator who may be able to provide personal assistance to you and your client. Just ask the representative for the coordinator in your area. To locate the nearest VA regional office, visit www.va.gov/sta/guide/home.asp.
