Can I get a letter showing how much I get monthly for my benefits... anyone know how?

Hey all, so I’ve been getting benefits, but I was wondering if there’s a way to get a letter showing how much I receive monthly? Or maybe someone knows where I can get this info? I’m trying to figure this out but not sure who to ask. Any help is appreciated!

You should contact the Veterans Benefits Administration National Call Center for something like that. They can send you the official letter. Here’s the link for that: Contact Us - Office of Survivors Assistance

Oh, I didn’t know they could send a letter. Does it take a long time to get it?

It might take a little while, but it’s the best way to get an official letter showing your benefits info. You’ll probably need to call them for the details.

Yeah, I got mine that way too. It’s all confidential, though, so you’ll need to call them directly for the letter.

Thanks! I’ll give them a call then. Hopefully it’s a smooth process.

FYI, the call center number is 1-800-827-1000 if you need it. Just be ready with your details so they can verify everything!

Good to know, thanks! I’ll make sure I have everything ready before I call.

Just to confirm, this letter is only for survivors or can anyone with benefits get it?

Anyone with benefits should be able to get this letter. It’s not just for survivors. Just call the number and they’ll help you out.

It’s definitely helpful to get that letter. I had to show mine for some paperwork once. Took about a week to arrive after I called them.

A week isn’t bad, that’s good to know! I’ll follow up after I call. Thanks!
