Access Your Benefits through VA.gov
Veterans and their families can access their VA benefits and services on the new and user- friendly VA website. Users can now access information about VA benefits and services through a single site rather than through multiple locations.
To access their information, users are encouraged to use their current Digital Service (DS) Logon or create a new account using ID.me.
For more information about the switch from eBenefits to VA.gov, read the VAntage Point blog.
