veteran who wants to apply for compensation, pension, or vocational
rehabilitation benefits using the Internet. If you are now receiving any of

that benefit. Instead, contact the V A Regional Office which handles your
benefit by calling 1-800-827-1000. Also, if you have a pending application for
any of these benefits, don’t apply for the same benefit again using VONAPP
without checking with the V A Regional Office working on your application. Also,
do not use VONAPP to notify V A about dependency or income changes on your
current award. Contact your V A office and ask what they need from you for
dependency or income changes.

would now like to apply for benefits based upon your Selected Reserve service.
If you have a pending application, don’t use VONAPP to
resubmit your claim. It will slow down processing. If you would like to know the
