You may have to come across the border for a little while to register as they do require in person verification before some parts of the webpage is available to you. I hope this helps, as a veteran i know this can be difficult when waiting on the VA. Good Luck.

The toll free number(s) they provide on their website is only good if you are calling within the US which is very, very frustrating. My benefits check has not arrived yet and I am trying to talk to someone who can help. I even tried the Canadian VA who did give me a toll free number but that only told me the check was sent out. Where do you go from there??????? I live in Canada and have been trying to contact the American Veterans Administration for days!

Even though we choose for various reasons to do so it does not exclude us from our service. I have had direct deposites in the states, and I know that banks all over the world deal with wire transfers and IBAN transfers. Why can't this be done for the veterans living abroad instead of waiting for snail mail?

I have tried to find a source for the statistics of Veterans living abroad and issues they may face. My self I have found the V.A. opts for snail mail to send us time sensitive corrospondence when I live so close to a U.S. Embassy, The same embassy that the compensation checks go through.
