More than 4.6 million Veterans already use the VA Health and Benefits mobile app to manage their care and benefits, and now, Veterans can view lab results and manage VA benefit overpayment debts directly in the app. These new features give you faster access to important information and make it easier to manage your health care and benefits from your phone.

View lab results

You can now see your lab results as soon as they’re available. You’ll find them in the Health section of the app, where you would typically message your care team and refill prescriptions. Just tap on “Medical records” and then you’ll be able to select “Labs and tests.” You’ll be able to sort labs and tests by date range, as well as review detailed results.

Manage benefit overpayment debts

You can also now use the app to view or manage any overpayment debts related to disability compensation, pension, and education benefits. To view or manage your benefit overpayment debts, you can navigate to the Payments section of the app, and then tap “Overpayments.” Here, you can:

View your benefit overpayment balances

See why debt exists

Make a payment

Request financial assistance

Dispute a debt
