When to Expect Payments

We've started our busy spring enrollment season

We process more GI Bill payments during this busy time of year, and we expect to keep up with the increase.

We're here Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (CT).

When will I get my first disability compensation payment?

If your decision notice shows at least a 10% disability rating, you’ll get your first payment within 15 days.

If you don’t get a payment within 15 days, please call the Veterans Help Line at 1-800-827-1000 (TTY: 1-800-829-4833). We’re here Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (ET).

How to Change Your Information

What should I do if I need to change my direct deposit or contact information?

You can change your information in either of these ways:
Change your information online, or
Contact your nearest VA regional benefit office or eligibility office

Should I contact VA if I have other changes to my information?

Yes. It’s important to update your information with us if you change your marital status, have a baby, adopt a child, or experience any other life change that could affect your rating or payment.

If you have a disability rating of 30% or higher, you may be able to add eligible dependents to your VA disability compensation to get a higher payment (also called a “benefit rate”).

If your disability gets worse, you can file a claim for an increase in benefits.
