01 / Veterans · Thailand resident guide
VA claims & disability
Understand your claim, protect key dates, and find accredited help.
Prepare for a VA claim exam in Thailand
You can pursue VA disability benefits from overseas. Give VA your actual physical location so an exam is not arranged around an unrelated mailing address.
Choose a VA decision-review option
A Higher-Level Review cannot consider new evidence. A Supplemental Claim requires new and relevant evidence. Choosing the wrong route can leave your strongest material outside the review.
Find a VA-accredited claims representative
Use VA's official accreditation search before appointing a claims representative. An accredited VSO representative's benefit-claim services are free.
Before you act
This is an educational starting point, not an eligibility decision, medical recommendation, legal opinion or tax ruling. Use the official sources and ask the responsible agency about your circumstances.
