The VA Health and Benefits mobile app has about 2 million users since VA launched it in 2021. Many thousands of users have reviewed the app since launch, giving it an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars on the Apple App Store and 4.6 out of 5 on the Google Play Store.
“Lovely format, very user friendly and updated regularly. Recommend using this app instead of the actual site. Keep up the good work developers :)” – Feedback from one Veteran reviewer in a Google Play Store review, 12/13/21
VA wants to raise awareness among Veterans. Here are six essential facts to know.
Proof of Veteran status
At local stores and restaurants Veterans when logged into the VA Health and Benefits mobile app, can easily show status for Veteran discounts and services without any paperwork. It’s easy and convenient.
Easy Login
Log in with FaceID or fingerprint
Manage health care and prescriptions on the go
The app allows Veterans:

- View, track, and refill VA-dispensed prescriptions
- Send and receive secure messages from providers
- View claims and appeals status and upload supporting documents
