VA Benefits Fax Service — Send Disability Claims and Forms Online
Fax VA Form 21-526EZ, pension applications, supporting statements, and appeals to the VA Evidence Intake Center without a fax machine. No account required. Pay only if delivery succeeds. Get real-time confirmation that your claim was received.
When Faxing Your VA Forms Makes Sense
The VA accepts faxed claims and evidence at their Evidence Intake Center. Faxing is often faster than mail, which can take months to be processed and scanned. Consider faxing when:
- You need immediate confirmation that your claim was received
- You're filing close to a deadline and can't wait for mail
- You want to avoid months of uncertainty waiting for mail processing
- You're submitting a Fully Developed Claim with all evidence ready
- You're adding supporting evidence to an existing claim
Common VA forms people fax:
Application for Disability Compensation
Statement in Support of Claim (buddy statements)
Authorization to release non-VA medical records
Decision Review Request: Board Appeal
VA pension and survivor benefit applications
Important: Always verify the correct fax number for your claim type. Disability claims go to 844-531-7818, pension claims to 844-655-1604, and Board appeals to 844-678-8979.
