Despite the agency’s efforts to streamline things, there is still a lot of confusion about the VA eBenefits Login process (and the website itself). We’re gonna try to clear that up.
What is eBenefits?
That’s an easy one: eBenefits is a Veterans Administration website you can use to access your VA records and use them for benefits. It also functions as a resource site, providing links to other sites dealing with Veteran information and Veteran benefits.
You can do many things from the eBenefits website, including:
- Apply for VA benefits online
- Get your VA home loan eligibility certificate
- Transfer your GI Bill benefits to a family member
- Check out TRICARE information
- Get a copy of your DD 214
…and many other things too.
First, take me to the eBenefits Tour.

VA Benefits: Common Questions
Before we begin exploring eBenefits, let’s answer a couple of very common questions.
⊕ What are the VA disability rates for 2024?
How much money will you get every month? (This is one of the most common questions asked!)
⊕ How do I download a VA Benefit Letter?
Sometimes veterans require a letter proving their status (such as for education or employment benefits).
⊕ How do you access VA life insurance online?
You’ll log in from the My VA site with your DS Logon, My HealtheVet sign-in, or ID.me account.

Okay. Now we’ll press on.
1. 👉 Where is the eBenefits website?
Their website was at this url: www.ebenefits.va.gov/.
As of this update, their features and capabilities have been moved to https://benefits.va.gov/benefits/ to improve the Veteran experience.
2. 👉 eBenefits VA Login
What’s my eBenefits Login?
To log in to eBenefits, you must have what is called a DoD Self-Service Logon, more commonly referred to as a DS Logon. If you’re already in DEERS, then you’re eligible for a DS Logon.
If you have an account, log into eBenefits with your DS Logon.
If you do not yet have an account, then register for one on the eBenefits Gateway.
3. 👉 My eBenefits
This will vary depending on the question but can all be answered from your “dashboard.” The most common question seems to be:
How can I see my VA payment historyâť“
You can access that via eBenefits (or VA.gov, which will just transfer you to the same place). You will need Premium Access!
4. 👉 Is the eBenefits Website Down❓
If you are having trouble connecting online, this link will tell you if the website is down or if the problem is on your end.
5. 👉 How can I add a dependent through eBenefits❓
Log into eBenefits and click Add Dependent on the left side of the page. Alternately you can click Add/Remove Dependent under the APPLY section of the eBenefits homepage.
There are two videos further below that will help you understand this process.
