Only the recipient of VA benefits or the recipient's legal representative may request a change of address. A spouse or other relative is not considered a legal representative for this purpose unless the spouse or relative has a power of attorney that authorizes the relative to make the change, or is a court appointed fiduciary.
In order to change your address for VA BENEFITS PAYMENT purposes, you must either send a signed letter to the VA regional office that has your records, or phone using 1-800-827-1000. To find the addresses of VA Regional Offices, go to http://www1.va.gov/directory/guide/division_flsh.asp?dnum=
If you wish to change your address for MEDICAL ENROLLMENT AND/OR RECORDS purposes, please contact the VA facility at which you receive treatment, or you may also call the VA Health Benefits Service 1-877-222-8387. You may find the address and other contact information of the VA medical facility by going to http://www1.va.gov/directory/guide/division_flsh.asp?dnum=1
Please note that you may not change your address online at this time. You must use the methods described above.
