Can i have my va disability payment mailed
Yes, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers several options for receiving your VA disability compensation payment, including mailing it to you. Here are the steps to request a mailed payment:
- Online: Log in to your VA account on the VA website (www.va.gov) and go to the "My VA" section. Click on "Benefits" and then "Compensation" to access your payment information. From there, you can select "Update Payment Method" and choose "Mail" as your preferred payment method.
- Phone: Call the VA's Compensation Service at 1-800-827-1000 (Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET) and ask to update your payment method to mail.
- Mail: You can also submit a written request to update your payment method to mail. Send a letter to the following address:
VA Compensation Service P.O. Box 4444 St. Louis, MO 63120-4444
In your letter, include your name, Social Security number, and the last four digits of your VA file number. You can also include a request to change your payment method to mail.
Note: If you're already receiving your payment by direct deposit, you'll need to cancel that arrangement before switching to mail. You can do this by calling the VA's Compensation Service or by submitting a written request.
Processing time: It may take 4-6 weeks for the VA to process your request and start mailing your payment. You can track the status of your request by logging in to your VA account or by calling the VA's Compensation Service.
Remember to keep your address updated with the VA to ensure your payment is mailed to the correct address.
