Veterans now should have an easier time when tracking down letters, notices and important documents they have received from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The agency has recently expanded online availability to these materials, through VA.gov.

The department still will mail documents. The online access offers faster access than snail mail, convenience, and digital format that will be easier to store.

Veterans can gain access by logging into their VA account, clicking “VA Benefits and Health Care,” selecting “Disability” from the drop-down menu, choosing “Check your claim or appeal status,” and clicking “Get your claim letters.”

From there, each letter will open in a new window. Users can print them or save them as .pdf files.
