As of September 27, 2017, the Department of Veterans Affairs will no longer operate the VONAPP website. Going forward, service members and their family members will make all online submissions through VA’s Vets.Gov and eBenefits websites. Many applications for benefits will still be able to be filed in person, through VSOs, and by mail.
Service members and their family members can apply for benefits through these links:
Vets.Gov: https://www.vets.gov/

The best way to file for benefits is with the help of DAV-- the Disabled American Veterans organization.
They know exactly how the system works and how to file claims and get them approved in the quickest way. And the best part is-- you don't have to be a member or pay anything for this service. It's one of the reasons the organization exists.. to help ALL veterans and their families.
Their veteran service officers are very well trained and very helpful. Most of them are veterans too.
I'm a life member of DAV. I know I speak for all of the members when I urge you to contact the organization and let the VSOs help you file.
