Access the VA Claim Status Page
To begin checking your VA claim status, navigate to the VA claim status page at www.va.gov/claim-or-appeal-status. This page provides a user-friendly interface to assist veterans and eligible applicants in reviewing their claims.
Sign In with a Verified Account
Next, you’ll need to sign in using one of the available verified accounts. The options include login.gov, id.me, DS Logon (which is available only until September 30, 2025), or My HealthEVet. Each of these accounts ensures that your identity is securely verified while accessing sensitive information about your claims.
Creating a New Account
If you currently do not possess one of these accounts, you can create a free account with either login.gov or id.me directly from the sign-in page. Once signed in, the interface will present a comprehensive list containing your claims, decision reviews, and appeals, enabling you to check their current status and further details.
The VA claim status tool also provides functionality to upload additional evidence for initial claims and to download decision letters for specific claims. If you encounter any difficulties during this process, the VA customer service is available for assistance at 800-827-1000, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET. Remember, this sign-in process uses secure identity verification to safeguard your information and ensure your privacy.
