    I wanted to post this so other veterans with VA benefits don't have the same thing happen. VA had me as a missing veteran, and stopped my disability payment this month. They had my address that I lived at 5 years ago. If you have moved and your file is not up to date, please call this number and get it up to date so your benefits will not stop.

    1-800-827-1000 or visit www.va.gov

    I spoke to a very nice gentleman who updated my info, and notified the San Diego office right away.

    i dont use any of my benefits.... I'm such a loser. I should be buying a home or something. It just seems so daunting... The paper work, processing and all.

    this doesn't apply if you have your benefits set up as direct deposit, does it? i've been getting my monthly payments directly deposited into my bank account - i've moved several times since i've separated and (thankfully) haven't had any problems or interruptions!

    Yes bro it applies even if you have direct deposit. I had it, and they stopped my monthly benefits. Make sure you take the time to update your info so it doesn't happen to you.:wink2:

    I have called the VA twice this past month and still haven't gotten my monthly benefits reinstated yet. Please make sure this doesn't happen to you if your receiving monthly VA benefits. Also this is very important, when you call them please have the exact amount that you receive monthly. If you don't have the exact dollar amount, they will not update your file.
