Which Department of Veterans Affairs fax number should I use?
Use the Claims Intake Center for disability compensation, choosing the domestic or international route. CHAMPVA applications go to the separate eligibility fax. Other benefits and local medical records have their own procedures.
What to include in your fax to Department of Veterans Affairs
Submit the applicable VA claim form, such as 21-526EZ, and the supporting evidence required for that benefit.
Check the destination and prepare your cover page
Identify the receiving department, document type, sender, callback number and page count. Put account or patient identifiers only where the receiving form requires them.
Open the official source above and check the current instructions. A reviewed source confirms a published number, not live availability. Toll-free numbers can still incur sending-service or international charges.
Confirm delivery and follow up with Department of Veterans Affairs
Keep the transmission result and a copy of the documents. Confirm with the receiving department that the packet is complete and can be processed; a delivery receipt does not establish acceptance or a decision. These are fax destinations, not voice support lines. Check with Department of Veterans Affairs before sending a duplicate.
How to fax Department of Veterans Affairs without a fax machine
