Several hundred VA support lines are now in operation, each of which is dedicated to a certain problem. Most likely, you won’t obtain a response to your precise inquiry if you dial the wrong phone number.
A single-access telephone contact point is available, though. This aims to reduce confusion and make it simpler for Veterans, Veterans’ relatives, and Veterans’ caregivers to get in touch with a live agent who can offer support.
All VA contact centers may be accessed by dialing 800-MyVA411 (800-698-2411). Keep the phone number handy by adding it to your contact list. The phone number is available around the clock, 365 days a year.
Callers contacting 800-MyVA411 can press “0” on their phone to quickly connect with a live person who may then transfer the caller to the appropriate customer support team.
As of right now, the 800-MyVA411 hotline may give assistance with:
- Information on COVID-19 guidelines and general information;
- Details and issues related to VA healthcare eligibility and enrollment;
- VA benefits, including disability, compensation, pension, education programs, caregiver support, insurance, home loans, and memorial benefits;
- Directly linking callers to the VA medical center nearest to them;
- Assistance with resolving Veterans Affairs debts, options for repaying debt;
- Technical assistance;
- Transfer to the Veterans Crisis Line or the Veterans National Call Center for Homeless Veterans.
Visit VA.gov First!
The wait time for calling the VA phone number is often unusually long. We thus suggest that to learn about VA payment rates, amounts, requirements, or application procedures, you could simply visit the VA website at VA.gov.
By doing so, you might be able to obtain in a shorter amount of time the information you plan to get by calling.

VA Claims Take A Long Time
It can be frustrating when you are waiting to receive your VA disability pay. VA claims can take many years, and you can go more than a year at a time without hearing anything from the VA. There is often a temptation to frantically look for a VA phone number to call and obtain VA claim status.
Often, the information you obtain from the VA phone number that you may call may be unsatisfactory. One way to deal with the stress of not hearing anything is to understand the reality and set realistic expectations. Don’t expect your VA claim to resolve in a few months. Not hearing anything for six months or a year is normal.
