VA is making it easier to take charge of your benefits and health care with its new Health and Benefits mobile application. Download VA Health and Benefits with the click of a button and get access to the resources you need – wherever you are and whenever you want them.
The VA Health and Benefits mobile app is a smarter, more convenient way to manage your VA health and benefits information. You can enable face or finger ID to skip the login, view and cancel health care appointments, view claims and appeals status, upload documentation, message your doctor, locate facilities, and access the Veterans Crisis Line – right from your phone. The app also makes it easy to prove your status as a Veteran so you can take advantage of available retailer discounts.
“I went into my local hardware store and opened my VA Health and Benefits mobile app. I was logged in so a quick glance at my phone showed them I was a Veteran, and I was able to get the Veteran discount without any paperwork. It was easy and convenient,” said a Veteran and VA app user review.
VA has heard from Veterans since the mobile app launched, and the reviews are positive! Nearly 700,000 users in the Veteran community have already downloaded the app, which has a rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars on Apple App Store and 4.6 out of 5 on Google Play Store. As usage grows, so will the app. New features expected in the coming year will allow you to:
- Refill prescriptions;
- Request appointments;
- Manage debt.

I love this app, and I’m going to recommend it to my Veteran Community
I downloaded the App and find it easier and more convenient than the website. My only complaint with it is that there is no provision for renewing or checking on medications. Hopefully, that will be rectified in a future update.
Good point. I didn’t even realize that!
I only went through basic training for the Marine corps got an honorable discharge am I eligible for any benefits?
Can it be used to make a travel benefit claim? Thanks
What if you use an Amazon kindle ? Neither of those versions will work for me .
So… how do you get the new app?!
You can download the app free using your mobile smartphone from either the Apple App Store if you have an iPhone or the Google Play Store if you have an Android phone.
