VA Benefits Regional Offices (VBA)
VBA (Veterans Benefits Administration) Regional Offices, listed by state. These offices process disability compensation claims, pension applications, education benefits, vocational rehab, VA home loans, and life insurance. Claims are distributed nationally: your state's office is usually first in line if it has capacity, but any regional office may decide your claim.
46 programs listed across 43 states and territories.
VBA Regional Offices have public-facing customer service, but you almost never need to walk in. File online at va.gov/disability or have a CVSO file for you. Walk-ins typically just receive the same forms you can download yourself.
Eligibility
- No veteran-eligibility check at the office level — they process applications from anyone who files.
- In-person filing is rarely required; most claims now file via VA.gov.
- CVSO or accredited rep can submit on your behalf.
