Other VA fax numbers
The VA runs separate offices for other benefits, and each has its own fax number on its own page. Pension claims go to the Pension Management Center for your state. Education claims go to a regional processing office, home loan matters to a regional loan center, and requests for your health records to your VA medical facility. The official pages for each are linked below. We print only the compensation number here, because it is the only one on this page we have checked.
How we verify fax numbers
Every number on this page was published by the agency itself. The two columns beside it say when that number was last confirmed, and what confirmed it.
The Verified by column says which of these it was:
Official website the agency publishes this number. The date is the day we read it from their page or their published file.
ProntoFax user a fax sent through ProntoFax reached this number and the receiving machine confirmed it. The date is the most recent delivery.
ProntoFax automation we called the number and heard a fax tone answer. Nothing is sent and the call ends as soon as the line answers.
Needs verification recent attempts to this number did not go through. It stays listed because the agency still publishes it, but check it against your own letter before you send.
The date is colored by how long ago it was:
Within 90 days 91 to 270 days Over 270 days
We never add a number because someone faxed it. A number appears here only if the agency published it. A delivered fax can confirm a number, but it can never create one.
What goes to this number
The VA sends these to this number:
- A paper VA Form 21-526EZ, Application for Disability Compensation, with copies of your service treatment records
- Correspondence about a disability compensation claim
- A claim for both pension and compensation
Before you send
